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.
For reference, see issue #69 and PRs #70 and #72.

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
statements to instead be #ifdef INETD_ENABLED, which is quite a bit
more readable.

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.

Instead of ugly #ifdefs we now probe for mdev or udevd at runtime. Take
care to check for udev-finalize and location of udevd, it differs a lot

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.

Some vendors provide their own Netlink plugin to Finit. This patch
makes it possible to disable the default netlink plugin from being
built. However, even before this patch it was possible to overload
the plugin. This just discards it from being built.

The alsa-utils, dbus, lost (PID), resolvconf, and x11-common plugins are
rarely used in the main use-case for Finit (embedded head-less systems).
This patch disables them by default and makes them possible to enable by
configure --enable-$PLUGIN switches.

This patch replaces the verbose and kernel-quiet runtime options with
a (hopefully) more useful quiet and silent modes of operation.
By default Finit progressively shows all services it starts at boot, but
when boot has completed and services are started/restarted Finit prints
nothing. If `--disable-quiet` is given all started/restared/stoppping
messages are shown even after boot.
However, if `--enable-silent` is given Finit is completely silent even
at boot, no progress is shown, until the first service is started, which
on most systems is login.
