By keeping track of when a full restart is needed, Finit can relieve
the user of having to track modifications to service configuration. This
also makes initctl reload easier to explain and reason about as the effect
of a reload should now be that any configuration updates to services will
be fully "commited" by initctl reload.

This patch reverts back to the progress/status behavior of Finit < v3.0
because this is what most users expect, including the maintainer. The
resulting code and configure script is a lot simpler to understand and
maintain:
- No more --enable-progress or --enable-progress-classic configure
flags. Instead a progress_style variable in helpers.c that can
be changed at compile time for those that really need it.
- No more 'splash' kernel commnand line option. This turned out to
be *very* confusing to many users who believed it was some sort of
graphical splash screen à la Plymouth.
Also, when Finit debug is enabled we now have a global 'debug' flag
which now alo controls if klogctl() should be called to prevent the
kernel logs to the console or not.

The SysV API compatibility layer gives too little value to be worth
the effort of maintaining it. Users are encouraged to use the
`initctl` tool instead.

The <svc/foo> condition was created to synchronize starting services,
hence the abbreviation. Example: the Quagga ripd needs to start after
the zebra daemon to ensure its UNIX domain socket is active, otherwise
events may be lost.
However, considering that synchronization was implemented with UNIX PID
files, e.g. waiting for /var/run/quagga/zebra.pid to be created, the
condition abbreviation name <svc/foo> was hard to understand by most
newcomers to Finit. To make matters worse, a new feature to track or
even create PID files for services that don't create one themselves,
using the syntax 'pid:/path/to/foo.pid' was added.
Connecting the dots between these wasn't obvious.
This patch renames service conditions pid conditions and also adds
a compatibility wrapper to the Finit .conf parser. Any condition
given in old .conf files with 'svc/' prefix are internally renamed
'pid/', along with a LOG_INFO notice in syslog.

The commands are both unsafe (insecure) and send the wrong message,
that initctl can be used to script conditions. Only plugins are
officially supported to manage conditions.
