We need /proc for rs_remount_root() and conf_parse_cmdline(), /dev for
early multi-console support, and /sys for the cgroups support. All of
these may be in the system /etc/fstab, which fs_mount() later remounts.

Many systems have a very verbose kernel by default. This patch calls
`klogctl(SYSLOG_ACTION_CONSOLE_OFF, NULL, 0)`, which is sysklogd also
calls but later when it starts emptying /dev/kmsg.
We do this to get an undisturbed console while starting up.

The contents of /etc/finit.conf and friends could potentially change
after mounting /etc/fstab. If, for example, /etc was to be re-mounted
from ro to rw using an overlay filesystem, we want any user changes to
the configuration to take effect.
Instead of heuristically trying to determine the correct hotplug
daemon to use (mdev/udev), defer to the user to specify it in the
configuration. Same goes for the built-in watchdog.
Traditionally, Finit has setup _some_ filesystems that are Nice To
Have (tm), using options that do the Right Thing (tm).
On the one hand, this is very convenient for users that don't
necessarily know what a reasonable mode= value is for /tmp etc. (pun
intended). It also means that mountpoints can be created if they
don't exist.
On the other hand it means that all users are forced to submit to the
choices made by Finit. Also, different filesystems where spread out
at many different points in `main()`, meaning that the fact that
`/proc` was available at a given hook point did not imply that `/sys`
was, for example.
Instead, defer _all_ filesystem setup to the user by simply calling
`mount -a`. We then ship an example `fstab` that shows how to
re-create the old behavior.
Up until now Finit has only read /proc/cmdline to determine debug level,
single user mode, etc. This patch is one in a series to make enable it
to run also in containers.

This patch makes the RTC plugin a bit more stand-alone, it is now also
back in the hands of the user to set a default timezone.

This patch sets the TZ variable to a sane default, UTC. Fixing, at
least, the time restore problems of the RTC plugin.
Also, let the C library figure out DST, as the docs say -1 does ...

When starting up a system booted from initramfs / may already be
mounted (read-only), so we can safely fsck it before proceeding
to remount it as read-write later (possibly).

In case we run into problems mounting /sys or /proc we should have
signals and the optional emergency shell available for recovery.

This patch removes the --enable-rw-rootfs build flag. Like OpenRC we
now check /etc/fstab instad; if `/` is listed *and* doesn't have the
`ro` flag set, we remount / read-write.

The built-in gety in Finit forks but does not execv(). To prevent
confusion on the part of the user, this patch hides all command line
arguments to PID 1 so it won't show up in ps listings of children.
Finit currently reads its arguments from the kernel /proc/cmdline,
it has hard-coded paths to /etc/finit.conf etc. A future version
of Finit may take command line params, in which case this patch
should be moved after any getopt() handling.

Similar to how systemd creates cgroups for all services, for purposes of
tracking, Finit now does the same. We also mount all available cgroups
in the /sys/fs/cgroup namespace.
This patch adds support for grouping processes in logical cgroups, like
systemd, and an `initctl ps` command to list the hieararchy.

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.

We allow all run/task/services to complete before changing runlevel.
This means stepping them all while we wait for their completion, since
services may depend on each other.

We must wait for udevd to be started before we call udevadm. However,
udevd doesn't create a PID file, so we must also fake this. There is
still a slight risk of a race condition: udevd not having properly
started before udevadm tries to connect, but it works OK in Debian.

Issue #52 suggested calling service_reload_dynamic() automatically after
run-parts and /etc/rc.local. This may seem like a good idea, but not
only does it create extra overhead, it currently also freezes the boot
and fails to present a login prompt if a run-parts directory exists.
Yes, the directory can be empty, it just have to exist to trigger this
regression.
While trying to find the root cause I realized this was all just wrong.
If the user does something that requires reloading finit, they should
call `initctl reload` from the script instead.

When finit calls out to external tools, like `ifup $IFACE`, that tool in
turn may use other external tools. On systems with BusyBox our calling
`ifup $IFACE` will result in BusyBox casting a magic spell: if $SHELL is
unset it goes looking in the file /etc/passwd for the shell of $USER
which may not be set to a Bourne compatible UNIX shell, so commands like
`ip link ...` or `run-parts ...` will fail hard.
This patch adds SHELL=/bin/sh as a sane early default.

Some systems, usually those built around BusyBox, have mdev installed
but have an option to install udev. In those cases the user likely
prefers to use udev over mdev and this patch addresses that.

The screen_init() call for each print() & C:o caused serious screen

screen when toggling debug.

An external plugin to set up /etc can use HOOK_BASEFS_UP, but the Finit
conf_monitor() must then be called *after* not before that hook, or the
inotify watchers will listen on the wrong inode.
