This patch extens the SysV compatibility support in Finit by adding
support for limiting `runparts` to run only SNNfoo, or KNNfoo, style
scripts from a directory.
Additionally, by default `runparts` now runs entirely in the background
without any progress. To enable progress, an optional argument has been
added to the runparts command line.

Multiple parallel tests writing to the same /var leads to quite
unexpected results. Let's start fresh in each test instead.

This was a tough nut to crack. Spent 3-4 calendar weeks (getting blurry
now) to try and figure it all out. In the end, the following changes
were necessary:
- Ensure setup-root.sh is guaranteed to run before any of the tests
- Give all tests their unique /etc, /tmp, and /run inside the chroot.
Turns out tmpfs+overlayfs can be used unprivileged inside an unshare
- A static BusyBox binary with support for mount helpers so we can
do the mkdir magic in skel/etc/fstab for the /etc overlay
The last item turned out to be a bit of a roller coaster ride of its
own. First of all, the original binary we used was from the upstream
BusyBox project[1]. I was sure it couldn't be that hard to enable the
CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_HELPERS ... oh boy was I wrong. To make long and
tedious story short; two new projects on GitHub were created for this
task: 1) troglobit/misc[2] to house a mirror of https://musl.cc
toolchains and 2) troglobit/busybox-builder[3] to download, patch, and
build the thing using a .config from the myLinux[4] project. Patching
this .config was necessary, however, since musl libc is strict POSIX
and does not have any of the BSD extensions, e.g. REG_STARTEND that is
in GLIBC regex(3).

Instead of having to create files, and copying them in place for each
test, we move all static test files to a skeleton rootfs. This makes
it a lot easier to get an overview of how things and how they work.
