This patch removes the cognitive overhead of having to manually set your
OS heading, --with-heading="Foo OS vX.YY". As of this patch, Finit by
default extracts PRETTY_NAME from /etc/os-release. It is now possible
to also disable the heading entirely using --without-heading

For most use-cases the kernel will give Finit its arguments as proper
command line args in argc + argv[], like any other program. However,
for some users, most notably Alpine Linux, there is a slightly broken
initramfs that cannot forward more than one argument using init_args,
for such systems you can re-enable the old behavior with a configure
switch --enable-kernel-cmdline -- it's not ideal but what can you do.
The main reason for removing this feature by default is to support
use-cases where Finit runs as the init for container apps that can read
/proc -- we do not want them to use the init args from the host.

- Changing the GNU defaults is messy. The best way is to leave them
alone and let the user set their install locations themselves.
- Show --exec-prefix in config Summary, that's where the binaries go
