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 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.
In the past, OpenRC was a hybrid of a centralized and file-scope
license/copyright structure.
I followed the instructions from the Software Freedom Law Center [1] to
convert to a Centralized structure where possible, for easier future
maintenance.

This advises users to remove mtab from their runlevels if /etc/mtab is a
symlink, and it creates the symlink if /etc/mtab does not exist on a
system.

This adds the -systemd-nspawn keyword to service scripts which are not
intended to run in systemd-nspawn containers.
This fixes#52.

This changes the mtab service in the following way:
- If /etc/mtab is a symbolic link, success is returned.
- If /etc is not writable, we warn that we could not update /etc/mtab
and return success.
- If /etc/mtab does not exist, we create a symbolic link from
/etc/mtab to /proc/self/mounts.
- Otherwise, we warn that updating /etc/mtab as a file is
deprecated and continue to update it after outputting instructions to
the user for how to move it to a symbolic link.
This was requested by Debian, because the minicom software, which is
available on Debian and other distros, has a binary named runscript. We
are keeping a backward compatibility symlink for now, but this allows
Debian or any other distro to safely remove the symlink.

SBINDIR and BINDIR can be set independently of PREFIX. This fixes
broken shebangs in service files when SBINDIR is set to something other
than PREFIX/sbin

/etc/mtab can be a link to a file in /proc. If it is, we should not
attempt to update /etc/mtab.
The original test used "! -w" as part of the test. This does not
work since everything is writeable by root.
Thanks to Robin Johnson for the suggestion of using readlink -f and the
regular expression.
