Joachim Wiberg ebc0ef62e6 libink/finit: properties, and org.finit on the system bus
Runlevel and version are state, not actions, so they belong behind
org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties rather than another method each.

Finit also claims org.finit on the system bus when it finds one, so
ordinary D-Bus clients can reach it without knowing about
/run/finit/bus.  Opportunistic on purpose: no dbus-daemon is a normal
state for the systems Finit runs on, not an error to report.

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.
