Since sysklogd now ships an excellent enhanced logger tool there is no
need for Finit to provide its own tool for the same purpose by default.

In cases where you have multiple events pending in the cache and some
event may cause later ones, already sent by the kernel to userspace,
to be deleted the pointer returned to the event loop for this later
event may be deleted.
There are two ways around this (accessing deleted memory); 1) use this
function to initialize your event loop and set maxevents to 1, 2) use a
free list in you application that you garbage collect at intervals
relevant to your application.

This patch is a countermeasure since fixing the root cause may take a
while (to be prioritized).

Automatic redirection of output was introduced in v3.0 and for the
upcoming v3.1 a configure option was added to disable it.
By popular demand this patch flips the default. One now has to
explicitly enable this feature to get redirection.

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.

The /lib/finit/plugins path is as of this patch not longer possible to
change. Use --prefix or --libdir instead to change the leading path.

This patch makes it possible to control the default redirection of
(misbehaving) services output to /dev/null. With this disabled,
a service may write to its stdout/stderr and mess up the console.
By default all service/run/tasks stdout/stderr is redirected.

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

This patch disables console heading and bootup progress messages by
default. Use --enable-progress to get the old behavior back, or try
the new HOOK_BANNER and HOOK_SVC_UP to run a custom progress.

This patch implemements a new feature of libite v1.9.1, whichp(), which
instead of fexist() that requires an absolute path, searches $PATH.

This patch is a follow-up to 1f1c2e0 which introduced the new semantics
for the very confusing quiet and silent modes.
The initial idea was to loosely follow the kernel cmdline 'quiet' option
and as a working concept this was good. The resulting code, however,
became unnecessarily complex and the configure options impossible to
explain.
With this patch the quiet mode, and thus the --disable-quiet configure
option, is removed. Finit now defaults to a sane behavior: services are
shown only at startup. The --enable-silent option works like it did
before, silencing everything.

This patch adds a simple log-rotate function to the UTMP, WTMP, BTMP,
and lastlog files. Enabled by default, disable with:
configure --disable-logrotate
Even though it can rotate /run/utmp it is unlikely this file will grow
that much during a system's uptime.
The hard-coded defaults are to keep up to two (2) previous versions
of the files and rotate on file size >= 100k.

This patch changes the confusing logic in all #ifndef INETD_DISABLED

This patch adds a simple but effective watchdog daemon with support for
handover to an external daemon, should one register using the API.
Disabled by default, enable by:
configure --enable-watchdog
The watchdog forks to the background, opening /dev/watchdog setting a
three second timeout, and kicking every second. At shutdown/reboot the
daemon will receive SIGPWR from Finit to exit and cause a WDT reboot.

This patch adds an `--enable-fallback-shell` option to confiugre.
When enabled Finit will start `/bin/sh` on the console, but only
if there are no active TTYs running in the current runlevel.
With this it will be easier to do board bringup with Finit, but it also
enables using the fallback shell in a rescue mode (runlevel) where no
TTYs are allowed to run.

This patch makes Finit require libuEv v1.4.2, a minor bugfix update, and
libite (-lite) v1.8.2, which is quite a bit more than just a few bug
fixes. The most relevant fixes are the removal of implicit logging for
touch(), makedir(), makefifo(), and erase() inline functions. The
release also removed implicit logging to stderr on error, as well as a
a few build fixes for running on musl libc.

This patch adds a very special debug mode to Finit. With this feature
enabled the actual duties of PID 1 is forked off early to a child. If
that child ever dies, usually due to a SIGSEGV, this wakes up the real
PID 1 which lauches a debug shell on the console.
Remember to disable 'quiet' and enable '--debug' on the kernel command
line to get all the debug logs -- which these days goes into the kernel
log in /dev/kmsg -- simply `cat /dev/kmsg` and use Ctrl-C to get the
shell prompt back.
