This commit makes it possible to build Finit with an external libite.
Without this configure script option the libite submodule is used.
With an external libite we make sure to set the SONAME to libite.so.2
to prevent runtime ABI issues with older libite versions.

This commit adds support for event based services to Finit. Along with
the previously added support for multiple instances of the same process,
the feature scope for Finit v2.0 has been reached!
As of now a service can be declared in /etc/finit.conf or /etc/finit.d/
like this:
service :1 [2345] <!IFUP:eth0,GW> /sbin/dropbear -R -F -p 22 -- SSH daemon
Here the first instance `:1` of dropbear is declared to run in runlevels
2-5, but only if eth0 `IFUP:eth0` is up and a gateway `GW` is set. When
the configuration changes, a new gateway is set, or somehow a new `IFUP`
event for eth0 is received, then dropbear is not SIGHUP'ed, but instead
stop-started `<!>`. The latter trick applies to all services, even
those that do not define any events.
Currently inetd services are not supported for event based starting, but
it could easily be added. Likely scenario is to deny incoming requests
on, e.g., eth0 if there is no gateway.

The event API, including Netlink events to services, looks OK now
to build the remaining two features on:
- Netlink plugin for GW and IFUP IFDN events
- Generic event support for services

Previously `HOOK_SVC_RECONF` was only called on `initctl reload`,
now we also call it on `initctl emit "STOP"`. This seems like a
good idea atm, hopefully it will remain a good idea.

This part of the README must be completely overhauled before the
release, so much of the contents is basically just TODO or design
ideas atm.

The tempfile() replacement in Finit leaked temporary files in /tmp.
The mkstemp() based implementation does not remove temporary files
when they are closed.

When Finit receives SIGHUP or a reload command all services listed in
/etc/finit.d/*.conf are first stopped and then started again. I.e.,
removed/changed services are stopped and then new/changed services are
started again. In between we call HOOK_SVC_RECONF. It should always be
called, even though no services were removed/changed/added. This to
allow plugins connected to that hook may need to run as intended.
