serv: add support for foregrounding, running with and without PID file,
including custom PID filename.
test: verify Finit can start & monitor services that:
1) Fork and creates a PID file in a known location
2) Don't fork and don't create a PID file, but Finit does
3) Don't fork but create a PID file
4) Don't fork and create custom named PID file
Note: Finit cannot support a service that forks and doesn't create a PID
file. This combination is impossible to support without tracking
all processes created in /proc -- which Finit does not do atm.

Finit Test Suite
Finit comes with a set of tests and a small framework for running them. Contributors are encouraged to write new tests when implementing features, or fixing bugs.
Each test is run in isolation, in it's own namespace. Finit will therefore be able to be launched as PID 1. Since it's also running with it's own root directory it will be able to function properly without having any super user privileges in the host environment.
Running tests
To run the test suite, first build Finit, e.g:
./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix= --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
make -j9 clean all
Then run (parallel does not work atm):
make check
make check will set up the required assets for the test environment, and then
run the full set of tests. The environment is not removed afterwards so at
this point individual tests can be executed without having to run the entire
test suite, which is handy when developing new tests or debugging existing
test. To execute an individual test, simply invoke the script containing it:
./test/name-of-the-test.sh
Another way to run a single (or more) test(s) is to define the TESTS
environment variable:
TESTS="start-kill-service" make check
