This patch adds a rescue (revovery) mode to Finit. Simply add `rescue`
to the kernel cmdline at boot and the following steps at bootstrap will
be skipped:
- Load of services/run/task/etc in /etc/finit.conf + /etc/finit.d/*.conf
- fsck of filesystems in /etc/fstab
- Remount of / to read-write
- Mount of all filesystems in /etc/fstab
- swapon
- A few plugin hooks:
- HOOK_ROOTFS_UP
- HOOK_MOUNT_ERROR
- HOOK_BASEFS_UP
- `runparts DIR`
- /etc/rc.local
Instead of loading /etc/finit.conf and /etc/finit.d/*.conf Finit loads
the file /lib/finit/rescue.conf, which can be overridden by the operator
if needed. If this file is removed (or lost), Finit falls back to start
a simple root shell, without any login.

This change is one of the required intermediate steps to remove the
shared memory store for all svc_t, this in turn to avoid any external
programs manipulating the internal memory of PID 1.

All this code did was trigger prctl() to set process name to "console",
which you could use as a simple means of figuring out if a process was
started from the system console.
There are other ways to do this, which Finit should not be involved in.

It is strongly recommended to instead use the service stanza to start
XDM/GDM, or use startx after a regular login.
Note: the `user NAME` setting was always reserved for use with startx

That should never be needed , however I saw
already systems with broken paths.h so better
have something around in case something breaks.
