Joachim Wiberg 1e508f9168 libink: trace connections, calls, and authorization decisions
The legacy socket logs a line per command under initctl debug; the bus
logged nothing, so the transport that now carries most of initctl was
the one you could not watch.

libink gets a logger hook rather than a dependency on Finit's: it
passes the emitting function and a formatted message, and dbus.c hands
both to logit() so the two sources read alike.  Trace points cover the
connection lifecycle, every inbound call, and why a call was refused.

Note

Finit can run on various Linux distributions, but the bundled install scripts are examples only. They have been tested on amd64 (x86_64) systems with standard configurations.

For embedded systems, see these Buildroot-based examples: myLinux, Infix, or br2-finit-demo.
