The bundled sulogin could be considered insecure, so leave it up to the
administrator, or system integrator, to decide which sulogin(8) is best
suited.

When logged in from sulogin we cannot send IPC to Finit, not even
signals, to delegate reboot. For usability, attempt to tell reboot that
it's in sulogin mode -- provided the bundled sulogin is used -- to let
reboot trigger over to forced reboot.
We cannot do much about initctl, just document this as a limitation.

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.).

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

- Adjust command line for enabling Finit debug

This is needed since 5ff27c4f when support for debugging Finit and the
kernel independently was added.

- 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

There are small typos in:
- doc/conditions.md
- src/mount.c
- src/svc.h
Fixes:
- Should read `satisfied` rather than `satsifed`.
- Should read `process` rather than `prorcess`.
- Should read `measure` rather than `meausre`.
This patch removes the cognitive overhead of having to manually set your
OS heading, --with-heading="Foo OS vX.YY". As of this patch, Finit by
default extracts PRETTY_NAME from /etc/os-release. It is now possible
to also disable the heading entirely using --without-heading

For most use-cases the kernel will give Finit its arguments as proper
command line args in argc + argv[], like any other program. However,
for some users, most notably Alpine Linux, there is a slightly broken
initramfs that cannot forward more than one argument using init_args,
for such systems you can re-enable the old behavior with a configure
switch --enable-kernel-cmdline -- it's not ideal but what can you do.
The main reason for removing this feature by default is to support
use-cases where Finit runs as the init for container apps that can read
/proc -- we do not want them to use the init args from the host.

This patch drops the default signal handlers for SIGPWR and SIGINT with
optional tasks in /etc/finit.conf, triggered by two new conditions:
sys/pwr/fail and sys/key/ctrlaltdel, respectively.

This patch changes the behavior of SIGUSR1. Previously USR1 could be
used to halt a running Finit system, similar to BusyBox init. However,
compatibility with sysvinit and systemd has been deemed more important.

This patch updates the service state machine with two new states: SETUP
and CLEANUP. If an executable pre:/path/to/script is defined for a
service, it is called every time the task goes to READY state. If an
executable post:/path/to/script is defined for a service, it is called
when the task goes to HALTED state.
Each of these two scripts default to a three (3) second execution time
before they are SIGKILLed. This can be adjusted with the `kill:SEC`
option for the service. There are no execution guarantees, nor are
there any way of detecting if the script was killed before completion or
not -- except for running Finit in debug mode and inspecting the result
printed by system_monitor().
Note: the post:script MUST be idempotent since transitions between READY
and HALTED can take place any number of times before a task goes
to its RUNNING state.

With the recent changes to the condition handling it has become more and
more evident that the canonical reference for a task/run/service is the
NAME:ID representation. Up until now we've kept the older JOB:ID for
some sort of compatibility fallback.
This patch removes the support to simplify maintenance going forward.
