A forking service, e.g. a SysV init script, that returns is no longer
running, even though the monitored service may still be starting. We
must mark the svc->pid as terminated until we know more -- otherwise
we may stall on a shutdown at that exact point.
Also, when shutting down, and stopping all services, ensure we do not
start the carousel for non-existing PIDs. This might also cause our
stalling at shutdown.

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.

In https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/commit/12fa229 the
ubuntu-latest runner was updated to Ubuntu 20.04.4, with Linux kernel
version: 5.13.0-1014-azure. This broke the Finit tests completely
and the only possible solution, for now, seems to be reverting back
to the ubuntu-18.04 runner instead.

In an upside world, much like the Finit test cases, the root may be
relocated. This make /var/run relative to /var, instead of /. Which
hopefully is safer and covers more use-cases.

All tests except the first two now suddenly started failing. Might be
the new caching support for the busybox binary, but that works on other
clean clones -- working theory now is that there's something subtle
with the setup-root.sh test -- which PASSes ...

- 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

Before this fix, a service declared with respawn could not be changed at
runtime to remove the respawn flag.

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.

Calling sync is not needed, remount does this for us.
Remount with 'dummydev' causes warnings and is not needed. It appears
sysvinit used this to try and fix a sparc related bug. Instead, use the
rootfs keyword to ensure we don't accidentally remount a bind mounted /.

- Tabs for indent (change in Emacs needed)
- Braces on their own line, like C functions

No point waiting for SysV start/stop scripts to finish, PID 1 should not
risk getting blocked forever by broken scripts. Instead we fork them off
and forget about them until they terminate. If they are buggy and don't
finish, it's the problem of the admin.

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.

When a SysV init script starts a daemon, Finit knows nothing of the PID
it should monitor. The PID is written, by start-stop-daemon or the
daemon itself, to the PID file. Finit monitors for new PID files and
can match the PID in such files with an svc_t.
For the regular use-case, we prefer first looking up the matching svc_t
based on the PID -- assuming we start and monitor the service. As a
fallback we resort to mathching the svc_t's declared PID file with the
new file we just discovered.

We want to find the PID of the daemon the init script starts, so we need
a way to declare this to Finit.

SysV init scripts should not go to "done" state but "halted" so we can
do: `initctl stop foo; initctl start foo`, like we do for our regular
monitored services.

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.

When running in a container we still want to use any syslog daemon
available for our logging needs. However, the time between the first
logit() in Finit and any such daemon having started can be long. In a
normal (non-containerized) setup we log to the kernel ring buffer, but
that's not available in a container scenario. At least not for
unprivileged containers. So we need to detect all these cases and be
prepared to fall back to log to the console, either using these LOG_CONS
flag to openlog(), or by simply calling vfprintf() to stderr.

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.

Turns out the kill(2) syscall returns ENOENT, not ESRCH, in our test
suite. Don't know why, the man page never mentions ENOENT, only the
ESRCH code. Let's check for both, either way ithe PID is not there.

A service may have unexpectedly died, and we never got the signal, so
when stopping services we must set the new state after we've tried to
stop the service. Otherwise the svc_set_state() function starts a
background timer for the SIGKILL job, which may block a reboot.
The kill() syscall tells us if the service was there or not, if not we
must clean up and go to HALTED state.
