Joachim Wiberg b55dada80b libink: a message bus is not a peer
libink was written against the only bus it had, its own, where the
peer on the other end is the client.  A broker is not: it routes for
senders it names itself, expects a DESTINATION on anything addressed
through it, and answers on its own schedule rather than next.

Runlevels go on the wire as S and N rather than the digits Finit
keeps internally, since that is what a caller outside Finit means by
one.

The library stays a convenience library, linked into finit and
initctl and installed nowhere: the ABI promise waits until libink is
its own project.

Joachim Wiberg 6310d9e760 initctl: the status views over D-Bus
The summary table, the per-service detail, JSON and the quiet and
ident forms all read state Finit already publishes, so they read it
from the bus like everything else rather than through a second path
that has to be kept in step.

Joachim Wiberg ebc0ef62e6 libink/finit: properties, and org.finit on the system bus
Runlevel and version are state, not actions, so they belong behind
org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties rather than another method each.

Finit also claims org.finit on the system bus when it finds one, so
ordinary D-Bus clients can reach it without knowing about
/run/finit/bus.  Opportunistic on purpose: no dbus-daemon is a normal
state for the systems Finit runs on, not an error to report.
