Joachim Wiberg a4af9ba248 Add limited tmpfiles.d(5) support
This change adds very basic tmpfiles.d/ support to Finit.  Much of the
basic types are supported, but not all, so for now, please check the
code for details on what is working.

Joachim Wiberg 57c97d8190 Fix #224: support for cmdline -- finit.fstab=/etc/fstab.secondary
This adds support for bringing up the system with an alternate fstab at
boot.  E.g., when using a primary/secondary setup for boot partitions.

By default /etc/fstab is read, like before, this can now be changed
using configure --with-fstab=/path/to/fstab.primary, which sets the
default that can be overridden using finit.fstab=/etc/fstab.secondary

If mounting, or fsck, fails in any way, Finit calls its own bundled
sulogin, or the system sulogin(8), to let the user handle the issue.
If there is no sulogin available, Finit will try to start up in its
rescue.conf boot mode.

Please note, in either of these rescue modes, use `reboot -f` to get the
system to reboot.  Finit is on pause in the background in rescue mode
and cannot be relied on (since there may not be any writable filesystems
available.).

Joachim Wiberg 3d91112e0d Rename finit command line option finit.show_status -> finit.status
Usability.

Remains backwards compatible for now, but finit.show_status is as of 4.3
deprecated.  Likely to be removed int 5.0
