Joachim Wiberg ce40e2b9d2 Rename tty services early from "init" -> "getty"
Finit has support for "Please press Enter to activate this console."
which means there's no getty yet running.  However, when profiling
systems with Finit, and embedded systems in general, a common metric
is the time from power-on to getty has started.

This commit makes sure to rename the process so that BusyBox pidof is
capable of detecting that "getty" has started.  This is mostly for the
bootchart2 project's bootchartd, the native BusyBox bootchartd does not
have this issue.

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.
