The initial implementation was done using a naive translator of the
legacy one-liner format key by key, so it inherited encodings that the
block format exists to remove: a timeout packed into a script path, a
small comma-and-colon language inside the log string, sigils standing in
for booleans, and a log key (services) carrying three (!) types.
Settled naming against systemd, OpenRC, FreeBSD rc.subr, s6 and SMF.
Match systemd's semantics, not its naming.
pid -> pidfile, plus pidfile-create for the rare case
where Finit writes the file rather than the daemon
environment -> envfile, since it names a file to source, and the
top-level environment {} block sets variables
pre/post/... -> exec-start-pre, exec-start-ready, exec-stop,
exec-stop-post, exec-reload, exec-cleanup, each
with its own -timeout instead of "SEC,script"
halt, kill -> stop-signal, stop-timeout
restart -> restart for the policy, restart-max for the count
log -> a block with file, priority and identity, where
/dev/null and /dev/console are spelled as paths
group -> group and extra-groups, no longer positional
nowarn -> a leading - on command, as on envfile
List-valued keys take plural names. Aliases are desc, cond, mod,
caps, env, halt and kill; an alias may abbreviate the canonical name
or preserve a legacy spelling, nothing else.

The one-liner format has grown crowded and very wide, and every new
service option makes it worse.
Add a second, block-based format, parsed with libconfuse:
service sshd {
description = "OpenSSH daemon"
runlevel = "2345"
command = "/usr/sbin/sshd -D $SSHD_OPTS"
}
Both formats keep the .conf extension and are detected per file by
content. Try-parse strictly with libconfuse; on a parse error,
re-parse leniently to tell a block file with a typo from a one-liner
file. Only a one-liner file reaches the legacy parser, a typo is
reported with its file and line.
Each block is translated to the canonical one-liner and registered
through the existing entry points, so the two formats cannot drift.
The one-liner parser is frozen at the 4.x feature set, new options
land only in the block schema. libconfuse 3.3 or later is required,
CFGF_KEYSTRVAL does not exist before it.
Covers service, task, run, sysv and tty blocks, the static directives,
and the cgroup, rlimit, set and log blocks. Templating and the
documentation rewrite are still to come.
The regression test covers translation of a service block to the
one-liner, a block-format /etc/finit.conf booting with set {} applied
at bootstrap, both formats side by side, and rejection of a typo at
block and at root level.
A rejected file must not fall through to the legacy parser, which
registers a bogus unstartable service per line. assert_num_children
cannot see that, the bogus service has no children either, so the
check is assert_num_services.
