Joachim Wiberg f15e95d1cc service: don't take a command named like an option for one
A run/task/service whose command starts like an option without a ':'
lost its command, e.g. the example in finit.conf(5):

    run [2345] @joe:users logger "Hello world"

was registered as the log option, running "Hello world".  Same for
pidof, pidproxy, cgroupfs-mount, and in block format too.

The option parser matches with MATCH_CMD(), a prefix match, also for
the options with no trailing ':' to end the prefix: log, pid, cgroup,
respawn, nowarn, and the rest.

Match these against the whole token, allowing only the separator that
starts a value: "log:", "pid:", "cgroup." and "cgroup:".

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.
