Joachim Wiberg 5cc41b3ba4 libink: take the match keys clients send without asking
A rule carrying sender, destination, or eavesdrop was refused whole,
and a peer whose AddMatch fails gets no signals at all.  That is a
poor trade for keys clients attach as a matter of course: better a
filter wider than asked for than a subscription that never happened.

They are accepted and ignored rather than honoured.  Widening costs
nothing here since Finit is the only sender on this bus, and what it
emits through the match table is state any peer that got this far may
already read.

argN and argNpath still take the whole rule down.  Honouring them
means parsing message bodies, and nothing asks for them yet.

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.
