When starting up a system booted from initramfs / may already be
mounted (read-only), so we can safely fsck it before proceeding
to remount it as read-write later (possibly).

This patch removes the --enable-rw-rootfs build flag. Like OpenRC we
now check /etc/fstab instad; if `/` is listed *and* doesn't have the
`ro` flag set, we remount / read-write.

The built-in gety in Finit forks but does not execv(). To prevent
confusion on the part of the user, this patch hides all command line
arguments to PID 1 so it won't show up in ps listings of children.
Finit currently reads its arguments from the kernel /proc/cmdline,
it has hard-coded paths to /etc/finit.conf etc. A future version
of Finit may take command line params, in which case this patch
should be moved after any getopt() handling.

Similar to how systemd creates cgroups for all services, for purposes of
tracking, Finit now does the same. We also mount all available cgroups
in the /sys/fs/cgroup namespace.
This patch adds support for grouping processes in logical cgroups, like
systemd, and an `initctl ps` command to list the hieararchy.

In cases where you have multiple events pending in the cache and some
event may cause later ones, already sent by the kernel to userspace,
to be deleted the pointer returned to the event loop for this later
event may be deleted.
There are two ways around this (accessing deleted memory); 1) use this
function to initialize your event loop and set maxevents to 1, 2) use a
free list in you application that you garbage collect at intervals
relevant to your application.

We allow all run/task/services to complete before changing runlevel.
This means stepping them all while we wait for their completion, since
services may depend on each other.

We must wait for udevd to be started before we call udevadm. However,
udevd doesn't create a PID file, so we must also fake this. There is
still a slight risk of a race condition: udevd not having properly
started before udevadm tries to connect, but it works OK in Debian.

Issue #52 suggested calling service_reload_dynamic() automatically after
run-parts and /etc/rc.local. This may seem like a good idea, but not
only does it create extra overhead, it currently also freezes the boot
and fails to present a login prompt if a run-parts directory exists.
Yes, the directory can be empty, it just have to exist to trigger this
regression.
While trying to find the root cause I realized this was all just wrong.
If the user does something that requires reloading finit, they should
call `initctl reload` from the script instead.

When finit calls out to external tools, like `ifup $IFACE`, that tool in
turn may use other external tools. On systems with BusyBox our calling
`ifup $IFACE` will result in BusyBox casting a magic spell: if $SHELL is
unset it goes looking in the file /etc/passwd for the shell of $USER
which may not be set to a Bourne compatible UNIX shell, so commands like
`ip link ...` or `run-parts ...` will fail hard.
This patch adds SHELL=/bin/sh as a sane early default.

Some systems, usually those built around BusyBox, have mdev installed
but have an option to install udev. In those cases the user likely
prefers to use udev over mdev and this patch addresses that.

The screen_init() call for each print() & C:o caused serious screen
artefacts in debug mode. This patch reworks f858d94 to only re-init
screen when toggling debug.
Also, avoid screen_init() completely if started in debug mode.

An external plugin to set up /etc can use HOOK_BASEFS_UP, but the Finit
conf_monitor() must then be called *after* not before that hook, or the
inotify watchers will listen on the wrong inode.

This is a quite intrusive change. In addition to the already reserved
runlevels 0 and 6, halt and reboot, respectively, this patch reserves
runlevel 1 as *no networking*, like the traditional SysV init did. One
of the reasons for this change is the new 'single' user mode, introduced
earlier. Most users when entering 'S' or 'single' on the kernel cmdline
expect the single user mode (runlevel 1) to be without networking.
This leaves 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7, 8, 9 as fully user-configurable runlevels
with networking.
Of course, networking can still be enabled in runlevel 1 using ifconfig
or ifupdown, or change runlevel.

This patch adds a rescue (revovery) mode to Finit. Simply add `rescue`
to the kernel cmdline at boot and the following steps at bootstrap will
be skipped:
- Load of services/run/task/etc in /etc/finit.conf + /etc/finit.d/*.conf
- fsck of filesystems in /etc/fstab
- Remount of / to read-write
- Mount of all filesystems in /etc/fstab
- swapon
- A few plugin hooks:
- HOOK_ROOTFS_UP
- HOOK_MOUNT_ERROR
- HOOK_BASEFS_UP
- `runparts DIR`
- /etc/rc.local
Instead of loading /etc/finit.conf and /etc/finit.d/*.conf Finit loads
the file /lib/finit/rescue.conf, which can be overridden by the operator
if needed. If this file is removed (or lost), Finit falls back to start
a simple root shell, without any login.

The difference between `runparts DIR` and `/etc/rc.local` is that one
should run just before the first runlevel change (to the configured
runlevel) at the end of bootstrap, whereas the other should run just
before launcing the TTYs, i.e. after all tasks in the configured
runlevel have been started.

This patch is an optimization. Now that we monitor for any .conf file
changes (as soon as the event loop starts) we can skip automatic reload
of all .conf files and services if no .conf file has changed. Unless
the user issues an `initctl reload`, `init q`, or sends us SIGHUP.

As reported in #92, systems with an udevd very early register a service
using global_rlimit[]. The change was introduced in b68c5c1 but did
not take the ordering problem into consideration, global_rlimit[] was
left uninitialized, which likely led to severely limited udevd that
was continously crashing.

Until now Finit has used mtime to determine if a file has been changed,
or simply touched to request reload, when `initctl reload` is called.
Using mtime for this purpose is a monumentally bad idea since time can
be changed at any point: a user may adjust the time, NTP continously
tunes the clock, and time stamps are stored as the walltime. So if we
compare timestamps against the last time we (booted or) did reload, we
would miss .conf file changes.
This patch replaces the mtime mistake with an inotify watcher for the
following files: /etc/finit.d/*.conf, /etc/finit.d/available/*.conf,
and /etc/finit.conf. All file changes between (bootstraps and) calls
to `initctl reload` are tracked, like the mtime backend it replaces.
