openrc 0.60-beta3

beta release including the inital support for user services, run as a user at login, managed by openrc.

adding the --user flag for the rc-* tools, and also providing the --user flag on shebangs so running them directly works.
user services are searched first in /etc/user.d/init.d, and ~/.config/openrc/init.d (with XDG_CONFIG_HOME being respected)

managed via the /etc/init.d/user script, which is multiplexed to /etc/init.d/user. either manually, or automatically
when an user logs in. if automatically, the dynamic service is linked in /run/openrc/dynamic/user.

user instances are started at login with a pam module, and the user script sets up the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR for the given user if that variable is unset, which then, the pam module exports for the user session.

example user services for various daemons that expect to be run inside a user session are available in support/user.d.examples.
