Sometimes people type in the wrong path to a service directive in
finit.conf, or the executable isn't installed. This commit makes
sure to check if the command exists before attempting to start it.
This also means that we now require service commands to start with
/ to indicate an absolute path. We used to search the PATH for a
suitable executable, using execvp(), but that's rather insecure as
well, so we now use only execv().
Also, added support for adding "start" or "stop" to entries found
in /etc/finit.d starting with SNNname, or KNNname, where NN is a
number. This makes it possible to simply import sysvinit style
start scripts from /etc/rcS.d and /etc/rcN.d/.
The alsa-utils plugin also had some minor fixes, added -g option
to ignore non-existing soundcards and fixed cut-paste bug on the
_d() debug messages.

Lots of cleanup and simplification of the main code in this commit.
Most notably libev has been added to take care of the main loop and
monitor services. Still TODO is migrating to use the libev signal
handling.
Convert initctl.c:listen_initctl() to a plugin instead. This also
meant introducing a new form of I/O plugin to finit, also handled
by libev.
Load plugins *after* we've setup the base filesystem (BASEFS) in case
plugins reside on a filesystem not reachable before "mount -a" has run.
This also has the side effect of lining up nicely with the first level
plugin hooks.
If a plugin wants to hook up with a loded service we connect them by
their respective numeric IDs in plugin_register(). I.e., the service
monitor checks if a service has a registered callback, which in turn
decides if a service should be started, stopped or reloaded.
Rip out old EeePC distribution defines from finit.h, none of it really
applies anymore. If you need distribution specific settings this is
the place to put them.
Make hookpoint names (#defines) clearer: after BASEFS, after networking,
after all setup, etc.
Use #inlude_next <signal.h> in signal.h to include system header file!
Simplify service monitor: move essential code to svc.c and rip out
the TIPC dependency. Write your own service.so plugin, or wait for
a more complete example of how to extend service monitoring using
the primitives in svc.c
