In 7447192 we dropped support for 'cond set' and 'cond clear' commands
with the motivation they were unsafe and sent the wrong message to the
user. That was true, but mostly because it was too generic and required
the user to call `initctl reload` to apply the changes.
This patch restores the behavior, albeit in a very reduced and simple
format. All conditions set with this command are constrained to the
'usr/...' namespace. No subdirectories are allowed. The argument to
the 'cond set|clear' command is disallowed if it contains '/' or '.'
but anything else is supported, for example:
initctl cond set foo:2
creates a static/oneshot condition in /run/finit/cond/usr/foo:2
These conditions are static and are fully handled by the user. The
initctl command is the recommended, and only supported, way of setting
and clearing usr conditions.
This patch also includes a new plugin, usr.so, which is a very simple
inotify plugin for the /run/finit/cond/usr/ directory. When files are
created or removed here the plugin tells the Finit condition engine to
update and trigger service changes.
For instance, the following service is not started by default at boot:
service <usr/foo> myservice -- MyService
However, as soon as `initctl cond set foo` is called, myservice starts.
Consequently, it is stopped when `initctl cond clr foo` is called.
Another major difference from the original is that this implementation
doesn't send IPC commands to create/delete the conditions. This makes
calling these new commands non-blocking so they can be used very early
in the bootstrap, by plugins, if needed.

The SysV API compatibility layer gives too little value to be worth
the effort of maintaining it. Users are encouraged to use the
`initctl` tool instead.

This patch removes the built-in inetd support from Finit. We recommend
using an external inetd instead, e.g. xinetd.
If you liked the feature set our inetd provided; filtering per interface
and port redirection, then please let us know or use the code in this
patch (MIT licensed) to recreate it. We are open to reintroducing it,
but then as a stand-alone daemon like the bundled watchdogd and getty.
So long for now, old friend.

This patch adds a new plugin to Finit called modprobe. It probes in
/sys/devices after modalias files and then calls 'modprobe -ab' for
each alias listed.
For hot-plugging we recommend adding the following to /etc/mdev.conf
$MODALIAS=.* root:root 0660 @modprobe -b "$MODALIAS"

The /lib/finit/plugins path is as of this patch not longer possible to
change. Use --prefix or --libdir instead to change the leading path.

Some vendors provide their own Netlink plugin to Finit. This patch
makes it possible to disable the default netlink plugin from being
built. However, even before this patch it was possible to overload
the plugin. This just discards it from being built.

This patch adds support for the runtime `HOOK_SVC_LOST` and the (very
noisy) *example* plugin `lost.so`.
