Simplify build system.
The logit tool is, as of v4.0, installed into /libexec/finit/logit and
thus not part of the system $PATH. If a sysadmin or distro wants to
remove it from the system it's entirely possible since Finit always
checks for logit availability before attempting to use it.

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 does two things:
1. A system with a root account that has no password is now
allowed to login without password, as one expects.
2. A systems with a locked root account, is treated as (1).
The latter of the two may very well turn out to be a really bad idea.
Much angst have been poured into it, yet the end decision is to allow
access.

Most major init systems have a way to start a rescue shell. This is
usally started when the string `rescue` is read from the kernel's
command line.
The traditional Finit way of handling this has been to skip certain
phases of the standard boot, skip /etc/finit.conf et al, and go for a
/lib/finit/rescue.conf instead. This pratice has been imroved over
the last few commits with a sulogin. However, there was no way to
resume boot, like most other init systems offer.
This patch implements a very simple rescue mode, utilizing the new
sulogin, replacing the old (and experimental) emergency shell. If
Ctrl-D is pressed at the maintenance login prompt the boot is now
resumed. The same goes for exit/Ctrl-D from the maintenace shell.
The preferred sulogin is the bundled /libexec/finit/sulogin, but
if that isn't installed, the first one in $PATH is used. If no
sulogin at all is found, Finit proceeds as before this patch, to
skip certains steps and go for a /lib/finit/rescue.conf. Hence,
al steps can be controlled by an administrator.

- splice out sh() as a separate function
- make sh() session leader and set controlling TTY (TIOCSCTTY)
to make it a proper login shell with Ctrl-C functionality
- simplify call to execl()

These plugins should not run in rescue mode, because the system may be
in a very bad state and we do not want to make the situation any worse
than it already is.
Essentially, only services in rescue.conf should run in rescue mode.

- Check if watchdogd *and* `WDT_DEVNODE` exists before registering the
built-in watchdogd at boot
- Update bootstrap.md with this additional constraint
- Update config.md with references to bootstrap and the new constraint

This patch fixes an issue where services that support SIGHUP are not
properly stop/started on changes to their command line arguments.
A change to a service's env: file, e.g. /etc/default/foo for service
foo, must also be counted as a change to the foo args.

This changes the default to redirect output from run/task/services to
/dev/null. Use --disable-redirect to get the old pre v4.0 behavior.

We need at least the softdog watchdog driver loaded for proper watchdog
reset at reboot. This can safely be replaced with a hardware specific
module that provides /dev/watchdog ... without one Finit will try to
restart the built-in finit-watchdog service 10 times to no avail.

This patch changes the configure option to enable the built-in watchdog
from --enable-watchdog to --with-watchdog[=DEV]. This is the convention
for features that take arguments.
Also, improve log messages to aid debugging when finit-watchdogd does
not start properly. This means flushing logs to syslogd with closelog()

This patch restores the start of the built-in/bundled watchdogd. It is
tracked in the `wdog` variable and handled as an exception at shutdown.
This is also a follow-up to 7b74c99, ensuring that we only kill/stop the
built-in watchdog, not any external. External ones can register to be
the controlling watchdogd in the system -- Finit is not the arbiter for
singletons, this is up to the system engineer.

If we get a notification and the service dies immediately, and also
removes its pid file, we need to take corrective action.
