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

I'll have to ask Jacques what this was for, because it doesn't seem to
be needed to run and monitor the test. Also, it lingers at shutdown,
causing some unintended side effects in Finit.
Commenting out for now, as a reminder to myself.

Install start-stop-daemon in test root. Add S01-service.sh, which uses
start-stop-daemon to start service.sh. Modify service.sh to respect
signals, and not exit immediately when sleep exits due to SIGTERM.
Remove PID file in signal callback and make sure to exit OK
The test itself is basically a copy of the start-stop-service.sh test.

The slay script checks for common errors and gives some logs and status
of Finit when something goes wrong. Helps detect issue #226 when the
start-kill-service.sh test runs at 100000 laps.

This trick can also be used by others who want to run Finit in an
unshare. Set the container environment variable to 'unshare',
like lxc and docker do for their products.
