The generic term for a non-running service is blocked, but a service may
be blocked for several different reasons. When a user stops a service
with `initctl stop` the intuitive expected output from `initctl show` is
"stopped" not "blocked".
When the user later restarts the service with `initctl start` it may of
course be blocked due to wrong runlevel or a missing condition. As can
be expected from the service's configuration.
The rest of the patch refactors the internal API names a bit to reflect
this change.

Also, update the service help text in doc/config.md to include info on
both runlevels and explain the condition in the listed example.

This patch removes the now heavily outdated (and non-working) support
for callback plugins. I.e. plugins that attach themselves to services
listed in /etc/finit.conf and can be queried to determine if a service
should be started or stopped.
The Finit3 support for adding/removing services at runtime with plain
text *.conf files in /etc/finit.d and `initctl reload`, this old, and
rather cumbersome service callback feature, is not longer supported.

This patch adds support for running fsck on all file systems listed in
/etc/fstab with a passno > 0. The fsck runs sequentially, starting with
the root fs (passno 1).

The TTY handling in Finit has always been a bit of a patch work. This
commit is an attempt at a first cleanup and simplification.
Included is a brand new built-in getty which should work fine on both
virtual and serial consoles. It is however completely untested on the
latter serial consoles.
Still TODO: add support for /etc/securetty, add support for actually
setting TERM when calling /bin/login.

This patch replaces the old 'initctl emit <EV>' idea with a more
full blown condition generator:
initctl cond <set|clear|flux> <COND>
This aligns better with terminology used elsewhere in the new Finit
service state machine and dependency handling already documented.
The 'flux' sub-command is mostly intended for simulation/test of
Finit itself and should perhaps not be documented.

This is a first effort at cleaning up and consolidating all information
about the new service state machine and how conditions control this
state machine.
Also, clarified and added sections for all documents regarding how
services and conditions relate.
