Joachim Nilsson 65c9e7ebc6 Fix I/O plugin watcher, load plugins earlier to enable a new early hook!
Restructure start by calling the plugin loader earlier. This makes it
possible to run hooks even earlier.  This also adds a new hook:
HOOK_ROOTFS_UP which runs as soon as the system root (/) is available.

Another very notable change is the slow refactor of helpers.c into a finit
helper library called libite.so (-lite). This is a light-weight

Also, lots of misc. fixes all over the place. Signal handling still really
needs to be looked into once more!

Makefile:
        Add dependency handling for parallell build
        Add libite library

ChangeLog:
        Update with new 1.4 release. There is a lot of fixes!

libite/:
        Collection of utility functions and C library extensions for
        finit & its plugins

reboot.c:
        New reboot tool. Simply sends SIGINT to PID 1

finit.h:
        Cleanup old LISTEN_INITCTL define, code is in an optional plugin now

finit.c:
        Let mdev/udev run *after* cls()
        Add useful debug statement for /proc/cmdline
        Earlier plugin load => new early hook point
        Show OK/FAIL for total plugin load, not for each plugin => speedup

helpers.h:
        Rename syslog macros to prevent common name clashes (DEBUG/ERROR)
        Add __FILE__ to _e(), _d() and _pe() macros

helpers.c:
        In ifconfig() the addr and mask arguments are now optional
        The copyfile() has been moved to libite.so
        Temporarily remove const directive from some functions to build
        Use DFLSIG() macro in run_getty() to simplify code

plugin.h:
        Add new HOOK_ROOTFS_UP hook

plugin.c:
        Fix init_plugins() to actually register the plugin's I/O fd
        Skip verbose listing of all plugins in plugin_load_all()

svc.c:
        svc_start(): Dito

plugins/Makefile:
        Inherit CFLAGS and LDFLAGS, but make sure to filter out -rdynamic
        from LDFLAGS, it's used by the daemon, only

plugins/initctl.c:
        New includes after helpers.h refactor

1.4 (20121002)
- Fix I/O plugin watcher and load plugins earlier for a new hook
- Start refactoring helpers.c into a libite.so (-lite). This
means other user space applications/daemons can make use of
the neat toolbox available in finit
- Use short-form -s/-w -u to work with BusyBox hwclock as well
- Use RTLD_GLOBAL flag to tell dynamic loader to load dependent
.so files as well. Lets other plugins use global symbols.
- Greatly simplify svc hook for external plugins and cleanup
the plugin API.
- And more... see the GIT log for more details.
1.3 (20120928)
- Cleanup public plugin API a bit and add new pid/pidfile funcs
- Add plugin hook to end of service startup
- Remove finit.h from svc.h, plugins should not need this.
- Move utility macros etc. to helpers.h
- Make finit.h daemon internal, only
- Move defines of FIFO, conf and rcS.d to Makefile => correct paths
- Add support for installing required headers in system include dir
- Better support for distributions and packagers with install-exec,
install-data, and install-dev targets in Makefile. Useful if you
want to call targets with different $DESTDIR!
- Makefile fixes for installation, paths encoded wrong
- Strip binaries + .so files, support for $(CROSS) toolchain strip
- Default install is now to /sbin/finit and /usr/
- Note change in $PLUGIN_DIR environemnt variable to $plugindir
