Finit v4.5-rc4

Changes

• Refactor runparts and /etc/rc.local to no longer block the main
  loop, allowing initctl calls to interact with Finit. Issue #356
• Refactor the run stanza to no longer block the main loop, issue #362
• Allow sulogin with a user different from root, issue #357
• Allow disabling invocation of rescue mode from kernel command line
• Add initctl -f to force-skip asking Finit for existing services
  when creating new services during bootstrap, e.g. /etc/rc.local
• initctl runlevel now returns N S instead of N 10 in bootstrap
• initctl runlevel N during bootstrap is now allowed. It changes
  the next runlevel to go to when bootstrap has completed. Effectively
  overriding the runlevel N statement in /etc/finit.conf
• Improved logging on failure to execvp() a run/task/service, now
  with errno, e.g., "No such file or directory" when the command
  is missing from $PATH
• Add support for Bash completion to initctl, issue #360
• Handle absolute path to initctl [enable|disable], not supported
• Update finit.conf(5) man page with the recommended directory
  hierarchy in /etc/finit.d/
• The runparts code has been split into /libexec/finit/runparts
• The runparts command now takes two options: sysv and progress.
  The former ensures only SNNfoo and KNNfoo scripts are run.
• Add SysV Init Compatibility section to documentation
• Increased MAX path for commands, and arguments: 64 -> 256
• The bundled watchdog daemon no longer tries to log at startup, because
  syslog is not available yet, any startup message leak to console
• Extend if: option with runtime evaluation of conditions. E.g., start
  a task only if:<run/foo/failure> (here the run task 'foo' failed)
• Document new if:, conflict:, nowarn options for run/task/service
  first introduced in v4.4

Fixes

• Fix #227: believed to have been fixed in v4.3, the root cause was
  actually that Finit was waiting for a process that was no longer in
  the system. The fix is to ask the kernel on process-stop-timeout and
  replay the lost PID so that Finit can continue with reboot/shutdown
• Fix #358: fix inotify events for /etc/finit.conf, improved log
  messages and error handling
• Fix #361: cgroup move fail if run/task/services start as non-root.
  Regression in the v4.4 release cycle while adding support for the
  pre:/post:/ready: scripts. Now the latter scripts also properly run
  in their correct cgroup
• Fix #366: document fsck.* kernel command line options and simplify
  the configure flags --enable-fsckfix and --enable-fastboot to
  only adjust the default values for the fsck.* options.
• The runparts executor now skips backup files (foo~)
• The runparts stanza now properly appends start to scripts that
  start with S[0-9]+. This has been broken for a very long time.
