Joachim Wiberg ecac1e58e3 conf: make cgroup delegate and leaf name first-class keys
parse_cgroup() takes two arguments that are not cgroupfs files: the
leaf directory to place the service in, and whether to hand the subtree
over to it.  The block format could express neither.  'name' happened
to work, because a free-form key is emitted as name:VALUE and that is
what the parser looks for, but 'delegate' came out as delegate:true and
was filed as a cgroup setting, so it silently did nothing.

Declare both, and emit delegate as the bare flag the parser expects.
Neither means anything on a top-level group definition, so say so there
rather than emitting something that would be written to cgroupfs.

    service podman {
        cgroup containers { name = "podman"  delegate = true }
        ...
    }

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.
