The PTY approach caused isatty() to return true for services using
the log directive, triggering programs like fprintd (using glib) to
emit ANSI escape codes and other TTY-specific formatting in syslog.
Using a standard pipe ensures isatty() correctly returns false, so
programs produce plain text output suitable for logging.
For services that require line-buffered output, users can wrap the
command with `stdbuf -oL` as documented in doc/config/logging.md.
Fixes#455

When setting up a new system with Finit it is very common to make small
logical mistakes that cause "hangs" at boot. This is when Finit waits
for 180 sec. for run/tasks to complete before moving to the configured
runlevel. This patch adds console input monitoring during bootstrap
wait that allows users to press Ctrl-C to skip waiting and proceed to
the configured runlevel.
When Ctrl-C is detected, all incomplete run/task/services are logged
to syslog for later troubleshooting after login.

Relax the constraints introduced in a39ee0b, for issue #342, a bit on
when start/stop/restart/reload service can be called. Also, allow
'initctl reload', but ignore it when the system is in runlevels S/0/6.
This makes it possible to start manual:yes type services at botostrap,
for example, which has been a common feature request.

There are some invalid condition checks in rtc.c, when rtc_file is
missing, it should not consider that as a error and return, otherwise,
it can lead to the case that time_set wont be called at all.
With this fix, when both RTC and file restore fail, it will fall back
to call time_set(NULL) and restore time from rtc_timestamp, this
ensures the OS has a valid time at the very first boot.

Allow service IDs up to 64 characters to support SHA-256 hashes,
UUIDs, and other long unique identifiers. This increases memory
usage by ~98 bytes per service instance, which is negligible for
typical deployments.
The IDENT column width in initctl output adapts dynamically based
on actual ID lengths in use, so short IDs remain unaffected.

Both service and sysv stanzas support a cleanup:script (since v4.10), with an
optional timeout. These timers must be stopped when collecting a PID for an
svc_t, or when unregistering an svc_t, otherwise the timer callback will be
continuously called, reporting "spurious problem", and cause 100% CPU usage.

Many packages fail to detect that this replacement libsystemd does not
support the logging API (yet), so let's disable it by default.

This patch fixes an ordering issue where the configuration generation is
stepped before all old/disabled services had been stopped. Finit should
ensure disabled services are stopped before entering the next generation.
If the genation is stepped first, all conditions are put in "flux" state,
so, e.g, a podman container running as a sysv service may lock-up until
it is killed by Finit. Found in the Infix OS project.
