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.

The want dependency is similar to the use dependency. If a service
script, for example called service1, adds "want service2" to its depend
function, OpenRC will attempt to start service2, if it exists on the
system, when service1 is started.
However, service1 will start regardless of the status of
service2.

This changes the default s6 service directory to /var/svc.d, also
it changes the code to work with the individual services instead of
forcing a rescan when a service is started or stopped.
This adds support for a chroot variable which will be passed to the
start-stop-daemon --chroot switch to runscript.sh when starting a
daemon. This also needs to be saved so it can be used in locating the
pid file when stopping the daemon.

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.
