Fix #186: allow continuation character in .conf files
This change makes it possible to use the standard continuation character
in .conf files. For example:
service [23456] \
log:stderr \
<!pid/foo> \
bar \
-- This is the bar service, it depends on foo # comment that's dropped
Notice the additional support for comments on .conf lines. If you use
the comment character today you must change to escape it. Like this:
service :2 foo -- Foo \#2

.Sh FILE FORMAT

Lines starting with `#' are ignored. Note that end-of-line comments are

NOT supported, comments must be on a line of their own.
|

The file format is line based, empty lines and comments, lines starting
|
||||
with `#', are ignored. A configuration directive starts with a keyword
|
||||
followed by a space and the rest of the line is treated as the value.

character.
|
||||
As of Finit v4.4, configuration directives can be broken up in multiple
|
||||
lines using the continuation character `\\', and trailing comments are
|
||||
also allowed. Example:
|
||||
.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
|
||||
# Escape \\# chars if you want them literal in, e.g., descriptions
|
||||
service name:sysklogd [S123456789] \\
|
||||
env:-/etc/default/sysklogd \\
|
||||
syslogd -F $SYSLOGD_ARGS \\
|
||||
-- System log daemon \\# 1 # Comments allowed now
