Add 'notify:pid' style readiness notifaction and 'readiness none'

This change expands the readiness notification system in Finit with the
native 'pid' style, which will remain the default readiness in Finit 4.x

For systems that want to transition to Finit 5.x early, a global option
to set 'readiness none' in /etc/finit.conf, has been added.  This change
the service default notification mode to 'notify:none', which can also
be set by Finit 4.x ('readiness pid') for select services.

Fixes #386.

As of Finit v4.4 partial support for systemd and s6 style readiness

as of Finit v4.6 optional, by default it is still enabled, but this can
be changed in `finit.conf`:
readiness none
This will be made the default in Finit 5.0. In this mode of operation,
every service needs to explicitly declare their readiness notification,
like this:
service notify:pid watchdogd
service notify:systemd foo
service notify:s6 bar
service notify:none qux
The `notify:none` syntax is for completeness in systems which run in
`readiness pid` mode (default). Services declared with `notify:none`
will assert ready condition as soon as Finit has started them, e.g.,
`service/qux/ready`.
To synchronize two services the following condition can be used:
service notify:systemd A
service <service/A/ready> B
service notify:pid watchdogd
service <service/watchdogd/ready> stress-ng --cpu 8
For details on the syntax and options, see below.
