This should clarify the messup on the behalf of the mainatiner in not
documenting this properly, including the deviations introduced in v4.4
See issue #359 for a background.

This change makes it possible to use the standard continuation character
in .conf files. For example:
service [23456] \
log:stderr \
<!pid/foo> \
bar \
-- This is the bar service, it depends on foo # comment that's dropped
Notice the additional support for comments on .conf lines. If you use
the comment character today you must change to escape it. Like this:
service :2 foo -- Foo \#2

This patch adds the oncrash:script option to call the post:script
action, if defined, for a crashing service. The EXIT_CODE variable
sent to the script is set to `crashed`.

This change allows endless restarts, similar to `respawn` but honors
`restart_sec`. There is no upper limit on the number of times Finit
tries to restart a crashing service. Same as `restart:-1`

- Add `type:forking` service option to trigger guessing pidfile to
watch for, instead of `pid:!foo` option, which is not intuitive.
This option may likely also survive into the new file format :)
- Update docs and add examples
- Update start-stop-serv.sh test case with this new variant
