Without a respawn period setting, the supervisor will give up on
respawning agetty after it is respawned respawn_max times. For most
daemons giving up like this is reasonable, but not for agettys. Agettys
should always be respawned unless they are respawning too fafst,.
If an agetty is respawning faster than 10 times in 60 seconds, this
seems to be too fast.
These services represent the parts of the keymaps and termencoding
services which saved the settings back to the root file system so they
can be loaded very early in the boot process.
These are needed to allow keymaps and termencoding to run earlier in the
boot sequence.

On Linux, kernel modules should be loaded once during boot, either in an
initramfs or by this service.
This does not change anything other than printing out messages if a
module is loaded more than once.

We do not need to do this any longer since all supported linux kernels
make efivarfs immutable and the tools that manipulate it are aware of
this feature.
This fixes https://github.com/openrc/openrc/issues/238.
This removes localmount from the dependencies of the consolefont,
keymaps, numlock and procfs services.
These services are Linux only and the default modern linux system has /
and /usr on the same file system.
This also fixes the following issue.

The OpenRC team does not currently know of any modern linux tools that
require /etc/mtab to be a flat file, so this puts users on notice that
the mtab service will be removed in the future.
localmount had mtab in its "use" dependencies; however, it makes more
sense to add "before localmount" to the mtab service and remove
"use mtab" from the localmount service.
The sysfs init script referred to @LIBEXECDIR@ before this change, but
it is better to refer to RC_LIBEXECDIR so that we get rid of a sed
substitution.
The syntax for expanding a variable with a default value is
${parameter:-word}
not
${parameter-word}
although the latter still works for a reason I could not explain.
This fixes#143.
The clock services had a very long list of "before" dependencies that
referred to other services within OpenRC. For ease of maintenance,
convert these to "after clock" dependencies in the individual services.
Using wildcards in dependencies causes issues when rc_parallel is set to
yes because it can lead to deadlocks.
All dependencies need to be explicit rather than implicit.
This is the first stage of moving this direction.
