Enhance fallback entropy generation by mixing in multiple sources:
runtime statistics, PID, and high-resolution timestamps.
This provides better initialization for the PRNG when neither saved
entropy nor hardware RNG are available during early boot.

These plugins signal success and failure directly to the console, the
user should inspect syslog for more information.
This change is a follow-up to 340cae4, where kernel logs of LOG_ERR and
higher are allowed to log directly to the console. Since syslogd has
not been started before these plugins, the log messages would otherwise
leak to the console.

This patch switches from "cp /var/lib/misc/random-seed /dev/urandom"
to use the kernel RNDADDENTROPY ioctl, which actually increments the
entropy count.
Also, the amount of random data saved at reboot is increased from the
fairly low 512 to 32768 bytes.
All in all, this should greatly improve the stability of most systems
during, or close to, bootstrap. In particular embedded systems with
limited or no HWRNG.

Due to an unfortunate name clash with the DirectFB project LiTE, the
libite (-lite) project had to change its header namespace from
lite/*.h -> libite/*.h
This patch adds support for the new namepace in Finit, triggered by the
define _LIBITE_LITE, from the .pc file read by pkg-config. This should
only be needed on systems that install libite without the compatibility
symlink lite -> libite/ in the staging include directory.

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.

These plugins should not run in rescue mode, because the system may be
in a very bad state and we do not want to make the situation any worse
than it already is.
Essentially, only services in rescue.conf should run in rescue mode.

Libraries and system headers should be included with <> instead of "".
This makes a great difference for the automatic dependency tracking.

When building a static Finit the plugins do not get a unique name
automatically from the file. This led to only the first plugin being
loaded, since its name was 'unknown' it was registered as such and all
other plugins conflicted, since 'unknown' was already ... known and
loaded.
This patch gives all plugins a default name, __FILE__, making it
possible to use all of them when building a static Finit.

For embedded systems with no initial random seed, usually stored in
/var/lib/urandom/urandom-seed on desktops, servers and laptops, we now
provide an initial seed file using a built-in PRNG.
Also, let the configure script default to *enable* the random seeding
at boot, granted the urandom plugin is enabled. We should encourage
users to properly seed their random, for security reasons.
Moreover, the plugin did not properly regenerate the random seed on
reboot, or shutdown, this patch also rectifies that problem.

This patch adds support for a configure script and with it
support for disabling inetd support. See the output from
./configure --help
* Add configure script
* Sprinkle #ifdef fairy dust on svc.c when inetd support is disabled
* Use GCC built-in autodep calculator (-MMD -MP)
* Fix name space issue with include files, use relative paths
* Disable username/group name to uid/gid functions in static builds
* Bug out (error) if a user tries to build the bootmisc plugin static
Possibly fixes GitHub issue #5 and issue #6.
NOTE: The static build has not received any testing at all!

This has been something I wanted to avoid, but then I stumbled so hard
on it myself I simply had to add it. With this commit finit actually
comes of age -- it's now possible to do anything a modern init can --
only faster! :-)
Included in this commit is the OpenBSD version of sys/queue.h, which
unline all versions of the same file on Linux has the _FOREACH_SAFE
macros for iterating over a linked list.
The plugins are now in a TAILQ, loaded in alphabetic order and, unless
the dependency resolver says otherwise, added last in the queue. So,
naming your plugins according to standard sysvinit rules: S01, S02,
etc. takes care of the most basic dependency resolution. When that is
not sufficient, simply add a line ".depends = { "other_plugin",
"another_plugin" }," to your plugin_t definition. Be careful though
for circular dependencies, we don't check for those.

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
