Remains backwards compatible for now, but finit.show_status is as of 4.3
deprecated. Likely to be removed int 5.0

This is needed since 5ff27c4f when support for debugging Finit and the
kernel independently was added.

- 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

There are small typos in:
- doc/conditions.md
- src/mount.c
- src/svc.h
Fixes:
- Should read `satisfied` rather than `satsifed`.
- Should read `process` rather than `prorcess`.
- Should read `measure` rather than `meausre`.
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.

This patch drops the default signal handlers for SIGPWR and SIGINT with
optional tasks in /etc/finit.conf, triggered by two new conditions:
sys/pwr/fail and sys/key/ctrlaltdel, respectively.

This patch changes the behavior of SIGUSR1. Previously USR1 could be
used to halt a running Finit system, similar to BusyBox init. However,
compatibility with sysvinit and systemd has been deemed more important.

- 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 updates the service state machine with two new states: SETUP
and CLEANUP. If an executable pre:/path/to/script is defined for a
service, it is called every time the task goes to READY state. If an
executable post:/path/to/script is defined for a service, it is called
when the task goes to HALTED state.
Each of these two scripts default to a three (3) second execution time
before they are SIGKILLed. This can be adjusted with the `kill:SEC`
option for the service. There are no execution guarantees, nor are
there any way of detecting if the script was killed before completion or
not -- except for running Finit in debug mode and inspecting the result
printed by system_monitor().
Note: the post:script MUST be idempotent since transitions between READY
and HALTED can take place any number of times before a task goes
to its RUNNING state.

With the recent changes to the condition handling it has become more and
more evident that the canonical reference for a task/run/service is the
NAME:ID representation. Up until now we've kept the older JOB:ID for
some sort of compatibility fallback.
This patch removes the support to simplify maintenance going forward.

Add support for monitoring environment files for services declared with
the `env:[-]/path/to/file` option. The default path to such files has
been chosen to follow Debian and Buildroot /etc/default/*
