Add remain:yes option for run/task oneshot commands

Similar to systemd's RemainAfterExit=yes.  Prevents the task from
re-running on runlevel re-entry and ensures the post: script runs
when explicitly stopped or when leaving valid runlevels.

Useful for tasks that set up persistent state like firewall rules:

    task [2345] remain:yes \
         post:/usr/sbin/teardown-firewall \
         /usr/sbin/setup-firewall -- Firewall setup

Not supported for bootstrap-only tasks (runlevel S only) since these
are deleted immediately after completion.
