Joachim Wiberg 9ed4407b20 Follow-up to 96f944b: fix regression in status output at boot
status() returns a pointer to a single static buffer, so calling it twice
in the same cprintf() argument list — status(3) and status(rc) — causes
one to overwrite the other before the format string is rendered.  When
status(3) wins, the line shows [ ⋯  ] instead of [ OK ].  Fix by copying
status(rc) into a local buffer before calling status(3).

Also drop the delline() calls added to print() — that macro writes \033[2K
to buffered stdout while cprintf() writes unbuffered to stderr, so the
erase sequences can arrive out of order.  The \r\e[K already present in
the cprintf format strings makes them redundant anyway.

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.
