Aaron Andersen 373738f3d1 Implement switch_root functionality allowing Finit to serve as the init
in an initramfs, then transition to the real root filesystem.  Useful
for systems requiring early boot tasks like LUKS unlock, LVM activation,
or network boot before mounting the real root.

Adds INIT_CMD_SWITCH_ROOT API command, `initctl switch-root` subcommand,
and HOOK_SWITCH_ROOT plugin hook point.  The implementation gracefully
stops services, moves virtual filesystems (/dev, /proc, /sys, /run) to
the new root, deletes initramfs contents to free memory, then execs the
new init as PID 1.

See GitHub Discussion #292 for background.

Joachim Wiberg 82dfa002ff Follow-up to c9fe9afa, proper fix for HOOK_BASFFS_UP mess
Instead of the revert in c9fe9afa, we restore HOOK_BASFFS_UP to its
proper place at the end of fs_mount_all().  For this to not cause any
regressions we add a new hook, HOOK_SVC_PLUGIN, and update all plugins
that call service_register() to run at the new hook.

This will cause regressions for external 3rd party plugins that rely on
HOOK_BASEFS_UP to be called at its previous postion.  Nevertheless, this
is the proper fix to the problem.

Joachim Wiberg d810ac00bc Fix #302: add support for running scripts at shutdown
This change adds support for running hook scripts at two new hook points
during the shutdown process:

 - HOOK_SVC_DN: after all services and non-reserved processes have been
   killed (and collected)
 - HOOK_SYS_DN: after all file systems have been unmounted, *just prior*
   to Finit calling reboot() to shut down or reboot the system

See doc/plugins.md for details and an example.

Joachim Wiberg 280d91b9bf Add support for new libite (-lite) header namespace
Due to an unfortunate name clash with the DirectFB project LiTE, the
libite (-lite) project had to change its header namespace from

   lite/*.h -> libite/*.h

This patch adds support for the new namepace in Finit, triggered by the
define _LIBITE_LITE, from the .pc file read by pkg-config.  This should
only be needed on systems that install libite without the compatibility
symlink lite -> libite/ in the staging include directory.

Joachim Nilsson a5491b3ded Remove HOOK_SVC_START, caused more problems than it was worth
An operator wanting to monitor processes started by Finit could use the
kernel ftrace framework.  E.g. execsnoop in perf-tools.

and others run in hook/mount/all

Joachim Nilsson 1017e7b8e5 Disable conditions for some non-oneshot (runtime) hooks
The SVC_RECONF, SVC_LOST, SVC_START, and RUNLEVEL_CHANGE hooks are not
one-shot, they are also not regular conditions since there exist no
mechanism to reset them from flux.

One idea was to turn them into actions, but the lost + start hooks need
to be called multiple times per trigger, e.g. `initctl reload`, which
turned out to be non-trivial to implement right now.

Therefore, for (at least) the Finit v3.1 release these conditions have
been disabled ("nop") and ignored by Finit.  Only actual C-style plugins
will be called.

Joachim Nilsson 9e31bd8a23 Fix #18: Add support for calling run/tasks on HOOK points
This patch implements support for calling run/task jobs on the built-in
`HOOK_*` points in Finit.  To map each HOOK point to a condition a new
classification was made, as shown in plugin.h and in the example below.

task <hook/mount/root> /sbin/attachubi.sh      # run in parallel with other tasks/services
run  <hook/net/up>     /sbin/dosomething.sh    # run in sequence with other commands

Please note, only rudimentary tested.
