Before 4e5d06b the only way to go into rescue mode was to skip certain
steps and then attempt to load /lib/finit/rescue.conf. After 4e5d06b
we keep the old handling as a fallback in case early sulogin fails.
The new tty option 'rescue' is added, which recue.conf is updated with.
This option implies notty mode and will try sulogin (again) before it
falls back to start /bin/sh as a login shell.
The reason we keep this is to be able to handle all possible use-cases
and also allow sysadmins to set up the behavior that fits their needs.

This patch adds a rescue (revovery) mode to Finit. Simply add `rescue`
to the kernel cmdline at boot and the following steps at bootstrap will
be skipped:
- Load of services/run/task/etc in /etc/finit.conf + /etc/finit.d/*.conf
- fsck of filesystems in /etc/fstab
- Remount of / to read-write
- Mount of all filesystems in /etc/fstab
- swapon
- A few plugin hooks:
- HOOK_ROOTFS_UP
- HOOK_MOUNT_ERROR
- HOOK_BASEFS_UP
- `runparts DIR`
- /etc/rc.local
Instead of loading /etc/finit.conf and /etc/finit.d/*.conf Finit loads
the file /lib/finit/rescue.conf, which can be overridden by the operator
if needed. If this file is removed (or lost), Finit falls back to start
a simple root shell, without any login.
