rc-status now shows the amount of time a supervised daemon has been
active as well as the number of times it has been respawned during the
current respawn period.
This creates --respawn-delay, --respawn-max and --respawn-period. It was
suggested that it would be easier to follow if the options were
separated.
This is for #126.
Allow limiting the number of times supervise-daemon will attempt to respawn a
daemon once it has died to prevent infinite respawning. Also, set a
reasonable default limit (10 times in a 5 second period).
This is for issue #126.
openrc-init.c and openrc-shutdown.c are based on code which was written by
James Hammons <jlhamm@acm.org>, so I would like to publically
thank him for his work.
The documentation implied that if you stop a daemon we handle multiple
pids in a pid file. This is not correct. We only handle the first pid.

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.

The -a option,which only applies to the del command, is used to remove a
service from all runlevels.

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.

Debian requested this rename due to the "rc" binary conflicting with the
"rc" binary from the plan 9 shell.
We also add a deprecation warning to the binary when it is run as rc to
encourage users to switch to openrc instead.

The libeinfo library has no consumers other than OpenRC, so there is no
reason for it to be maintained as a library. The einfo routines are now
an object that links with the rc binary.
