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.
This should clarify the messup on the behalf of the mainatiner in not
documenting this properly, including the deviations introduced in v4.4
See issue #359 for a background.

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

This patch adds the oncrash:script option to call the post:script
action, if defined, for a crashing service. The EXIT_CODE variable
sent to the script is set to `crashed`.

This change allows endless restarts, similar to `respawn` but honors
`restart_sec`. There is no upper limit on the number of times Finit
tries to restart a crashing service. Same as `restart:-1`

- Add `type:forking` service option to trigger guessing pidfile to
watch for, instead of `pid:!foo` option, which is not intuitive.
This option may likely also survive into the new file format :)
- Update docs and add examples
- Update start-stop-serv.sh test case with this new variant
