Traditionally, Finit has setup _some_ filesystems that are Nice To
Have (tm), using options that do the Right Thing (tm).
On the one hand, this is very convenient for users that don't
necessarily know what a reasonable mode= value is for /tmp etc. (pun
intended). It also means that mountpoints can be created if they
don't exist.
On the other hand it means that all users are forced to submit to the
choices made by Finit. Also, different filesystems where spread out
at many different points in `main()`, meaning that the fact that
`/proc` was available at a given hook point did not imply that `/sys`
was, for example.
Instead, defer _all_ filesystem setup to the user by simply calling
`mount -a`. We then ship an example `fstab` that shows how to
re-create the old behavior.
An operator wanting to monitor processes started by Finit could use the
kernel ftrace framework. E.g. execsnoop in perf-tools.

The file plugin.h is installed to $prefix/include and used by external
plugins. Therefore it must not include, or depend on, features set by
the configure script in config.h

This patch implements support for calling run/task jobs on the built-in
`HOOK_*` points in Finit. To map each HOOK point to a condition a new
classification was made, as shown in plugin.h and in the example below.
task <hook/mount/root> /sbin/attachubi.sh # run in parallel with other tasks/services
run <hook/net/up> /sbin/dosomething.sh # run in sequence with other commands
Please note, only rudimentary tested.

This patch moves the plugin loader much earlier, making it possible to
provide a custom banner/logo in a plugin.
To facilitate this move we need to also move banner later and parsing
of the kernel cmdline earlier, right after mouting /proc.
