Relax the constraints introduced in a39ee0b, for issue #342, a bit on
when start/stop/restart/reload service can be called. Also, allow
'initctl reload', but ignore it when the system is in runlevels S/0/6.
This makes it possible to start manual:yes type services at botostrap,
for example, which has been a common feature request.

Finit is an alternative to SysV init and systemd, focused on small and embedded Linux systems, although fully usable on server and desktop systems.

For working examples, see the 🚀 contrib/ section or these tutorials:
- 🛠️ Buildroot embedded Linux,
- 📦 Debian GNU/Linux,
- ⛰️ Alpine Linux, and
- 🌌 Void Linux
Note
Support for various Linux distributions does not mean Finit installs easily on all architectures. Bundled install scripts are examples for standard installations, tested on amd64 (x86_64) systems. Custom setups, e.g., for embedded systems, can be found in the following Buildroot based examples: myLinux, Infix, or the plain br2-finit-demo.
