Remove support for service callback plugins

This patch removes the now heavily outdated (and non-working) support
for callback plugins.  I.e. plugins that attach themselves to services
listed in /etc/finit.conf and can be queried to determine if a service
should be started or stopped.

The Finit3 support for adding/removing services at runtime with plain
text *.conf files in /etc/finit.d and `initctl reload`, this old, and
rather cumbersome service callback feature, is not longer supported.

Hooks & Plugins
===============
Finit provides only the bare necessities for starting and supervising
processes, with an emphasis on *bare* — for your convenience it does
however come with support for hooks, service callbacks and plugins that
can used to extend finit with.
Finit can be extended to add general functionality in the form of I/O
monitors, built-in inetd services, or hook plugins.
The following sections detail existing plugins and hook points. For
more information, see the plugins listed below.

Callbacks
---------
Callback plugins are called by finit right before a process is started,
or restarted if it exits. The callback runs as a separate process and
receives a pointer to the `svc_t` of the service, with all command line
parameters free to modify as needed.
All the callback needs to do is respond with one of: `SVC_STOP (0)`
tells Finit to *not* start the service, `SVC_START (1)` to start the
service, or `SVC_RELOAD (2)` to have finit signal the process with
`SIGHUP`.
