libink was written against the only bus it had, its own, where the
peer on the other end is the client. A broker is not: it routes for
senders it names itself, expects a DESTINATION on anything addressed
through it, and answers on its own schedule rather than next.
Runlevels go on the wire as S and N rather than the digits Finit
keeps internally, since that is what a caller outside Finit means by
one.
The library stays a convenience library, linked into finit and
initctl and installed nowhere: the ABI promise waits until libink is
its own project.

The summary table, the per-service detail, JSON and the quiet and
ident forms all read state Finit already publishes, so they read it
from the bus like everything else rather than through a second path
that has to be kept in step.

The workflows install libuev and libite from source and everything
else from apt, but never libconfuse, so every build job on this
branch dies in configure:
checking for libconfuse >= 3.3... no
Ubuntu ships libconfuse 3.3 with the static library included, which
covers both the static and regular builds. Staying on 3.3 in CI is
deliberate: it exercises the fallback paths marked
"XXX: Workaround for libConfuse <3.4" that a from-source 3.4 would
leave untested.

Finit 5.0 changes the .conf syntax, which has been essentially
unchanged since 1.x. The published docs track master, so when 5.x
lands, 4.x users lose their reference.
Publish the site under a per-major directory, /4.x/ for now, with
the Material version selector to switch between them. The selector
only needs mike's file layout -- a versions.json at the site root --
which the deploy job now generates from the version directories in
the pages repo, so mike itself is not needed.
The major comes from AC_INIT and the future 4.x maintenance branch
is already in the workflow triggers, so once 5.0 is on master, doc
fixes on the 4.x branch keep /4.x/ updated. A root index.html
redirects to the newest version, and a 404.html rewrites
pre-versioned deep links so old bookmarks and search hits land in
the right place.

At least the sysvpart.sh regression test cannot run in parallel yet with
other tests (probably runparts.sh), so we must ensure the tests never
run in parallel, in particular at release.

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.
This to save time during regular pushes and pull requests, the tests
run from distcheck take a long time, and they're not getting fewer.
