Issue #300
Signed-off-by: Joachim Wiberg <troglobit@gmail.com>
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.

Note: we need to add /usr/bin and /usr/sbin to the standard PATH
for tests and the test environment itself.

- 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

While without a working Internet connection today I ran into the issue
of not being able to run the tests. This adds a basic caching mechanism
to setup-root.sh which saves busybox-x86_64 in ~/.cache, if available.

serv: add support for foregrounding, running with and without PID file,
including custom PID filename.
test: verify Finit can start & monitor services that:
1) Fork and creates a PID file in a known location
2) Don't fork and don't create a PID file, but Finit does
3) Don't fork but create a PID file
4) Don't fork and create custom named PID file
Note: Finit cannot support a service that forks and doesn't create a PID
file. This combination is impossible to support without tracking
all processes created in /proc -- which Finit does not do atm.

Coding style for shell scripts:
- Tabs for indent (change in Emacs needed)
- Braces on their own line, like C functions
