libite v2.6.2 is not yet in Buildroot, so let's relax the dependency a
bit. Load bearing functionality was in v2.6.0, any fixes on top is a
nice-to-have only.

We now require readsnf() introduced in libite 2.6.0, with bug fixes
this effectively means v2.6.2.
The libuev bump is for 64-bit time_t, with bug fix => v2.4.1

Implement Linux capability support for services, allowing them to run
with minimal required privileges instead of running as root. This uses
the modern IAB (Inheritable, Ambient, Bounding) API from libcap.
Many packages fail to detect that this replacement libsystemd does not
support the logging API (yet), so let's disable it by default.

This commit introduces a bare-bones replacement for libsystemd:
- Build .so file and add --with-libsystemd to configure
- Add capabilities support to test/src/serv.c
- Update tests to account for a Finit built w/o libsystemd support

In 42ef3d3c, for v4.4-rc1, support for setting a custom RTC restore date
was introduced. Unfortunately the configure script was wrong and caused
config.h to contain
#define RTC_TIMESTAMP_CUSTOM "$rtc_date"
instead of
#define RTC_TIMESTAMP_CUSTOM "2023-04-10 14:35:42"
Furthermore, the error handling for strptime() was wrong, so the restore
date was always reverted to the default.
This patch fixes both issues and extends the DATE of --with-rtc-date to
also include seconds.

This patch introduces a new configure option --with-rtc-file=FILE. When
enabled the RTC plugin detects missing RTC device and falls back to save
and restore system time from a file instead. When --with-rtc-file is
used without an argument the default file is /var/lib/misc/rtc, but the
feature itself is disabled by default.
The usefulness of this feature may not be obvious at first, but some
systems are equipped with an RTC that resets to a random date at power
on. This can be really bad in the case the date is far in the future,
because an NTP sync would then cause time skips backwards, which shows
up in logs and causes a whole lot of pain in alarm systems.
The solution is to disable the RTC driver or device tree node, and when
Finit starts up, the RTC plugin detects a the device node and instead
restores time from the last save game. Meaning time will always only
move forwards.
NOTE: when Finit is built --with-rtc-file we always save to disk, but
only restore from the "save game" if restoring from RTC fails.
If the system has no RTC we always restore from disk.
As an added bonus, this change also makes sure to periodically
sync also the RTC with the system clock. Useful for systems
that do not run an NTP client.

A Linux system booted with the kernel command line option 'quiet' only
logs error (and above) severity messages to the console. For embedded
systems, which is the primary target for Finit, this is what you want
to see.
Hence, and after careful consideration, this patch changes the default
behavior of Finit to allow kernel logs to the console. A build-time
configure flags, --disable-kernel-logging, has been added to restore
legacy behavior.

This fixes an annying buglet that creeped in just before the v4.5 release
causing none of the internal services to be registered properly:
conf_save_service():Failed creating ${localstatedir}/run/finit/system/dbus.conf: No such file or directory
plugin_run_hook():Calling modules-load hook n:o 5 (arg: 0x55c4c8133621) ...
load():Scanning /etc/modules-load.d for config files ...
cond_set_oneshot():hook/svc/plugin
cond_set_oneshot_noupdate():hook/svc/plugin => /run/finit/cond/hook/svc/plugin
cond_update():hook/svc/plugin
parse_conf():*** Parsing /etc/finit.conf
conf_save_service():Failed creating ${localstatedir}/run/finit/system/runparts.conf: No such file or directory
The fix, like most, is simple when you find it. We must expand $runstatedir
before creating the #define in config.h
For convenience, here's the patch for the generated configure script:

We cannot rely on the auto-detection of Bash completion dir during 'make
distcheck' because autotools does not use DESTDIR, only --prefix for the
install check, and pkg-config returns a system path.
Also, show detected path in configure summary for debug.
