Slowly migrating away from hard-coded services in plugins. This way
it's possible for the user to both inspect and override as needed.

The tmpfilesd() glob sorts files according to name, we could name our
.conf as 00finit.conf to prevent ordering issues with, e.g. dnsmasq,
but this is more elegant and allows for multi-level override.
NOTE: bootmisc depends on the pidfile plugins since the latter need
to set up its iwatches of /run before bootmisc creates /run.
Depending on if it's a system with /var/run or /run we need to
drop /var/run before recreating it.

This change adds very basic tmpfiles.d/ support to Finit. Much of the
basic types are supported, but not all, so for now, please check the
code for details on what is working.

With all the change and revert mess of the HOOK_BASEFS_UP tests started
failing due to usr.so and sys.so failed to set up their conditions. It
then became clear that boomisc.so cleaned up /run ... with the revert
we got service_register() to be called before global_rlimit[] was setup
causing services registered by plugins, before conf_init(), to crash.
This plugin and test is here to ensure we catch this problem in case of
any future refactor.

This patch adds the mdevd[1] plugin from Andy's fork of Finit, only
minor whitespace adjustment and group fix introduced, along with
updates to configure.ac and the documentation.
Currently the hotplug.sh calls mdevd-coldplug (instad of mdev -s), but
since mdevd is not guaranteed to have started and be ready, it is also
started with mdevd -C. A better solution is to use the s6 notify code
to synchronize the start of mdevd-coldplug. Support for this is coming
soon to Finit.

Add a plugin that will allow the user to trigger the execution of
scripts from plugin hook points. This is particularly useful for early
boot debugging that needs to take place before regular services are
available.
For example, let's say that you want to enable some kernel tracing
before modules are loaded. With hook-scripts, you can just drop in a
shell script in /libexec/finit/hook/mount/all/ that will poke the
right control files in tracefs.
The bundled sulogin could be considered insecure, so leave it up to the
administrator, or system integrator, to decide which sulogin(8) is best
suited.

When iterating over the system fstab file to call fsck, Finit calls the
helper function ismnt(), which opens /proc/mounts to make sure mounted
file systems are not fsck'ed. Both the main function and ismnt() used
the same non-reentrant getmntent() API which caused ismnt() to set the
fstab pointer for the first out of whack.
This change replaces getmntent() in the two critical functions with the
getmntent_r() API instead.

This adds support for bringing up the system with an alternate fstab at
boot. E.g., when using a primary/secondary setup for boot partitions.
By default /etc/fstab is read, like before, this can now be changed
using configure --with-fstab=/path/to/fstab.primary, which sets the
default that can be overridden using finit.fstab=/etc/fstab.secondary
If mounting, or fsck, fails in any way, Finit calls its own bundled
sulogin, or the system sulogin(8), to let the user handle the issue.
If there is no sulogin available, Finit will try to start up in its
rescue.conf boot mode.
Please note, in either of these rescue modes, use `reboot -f` to get the
system to reboot. Finit is on pause in the background in rescue mode
and cannot be relied on (since there may not be any writable filesystems
available.).

The setfsent() family of APIs was never standardized and on Linux only
GLIBC implement them. We've tried to overcome this limitation, and to
support uClibc/uClibc-ng and musl libc, by providing replacements APIs
in helpers.c.
However, and since we want to support alternative /etc/fstab files, the
setmntent() family of APIs is more widespread and supports reading from
any fstab or mtab file.

This patch allows disabling (enabled by default) the modprobe and tty
plugins. They are not particularly useful in container use-cases.

fastboot: once enabled, fsck would be skipped on filesystems listed in
/etc/fstab.
fsckfix: once enabled, 'fsck -ys' would be run instead of 'fsck -a',
and check the return value larger than 1 as a failure and goes
to login console.
They are both disabled by default, no functional changes unless an end
user choose to enable them.
The idea derives from Sysvinit's "FASTBOOT" and "FSCKFIX".

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

Some systems may want to handle RTC and /dev/urandom by themselves, or
not at all as in the case of containers where the host does all this.

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.

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.

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.
