The start-stop-daemon "--make-pidfile" option is now used by default when using
command_background, this requires a pidfile to be specified.
Document command_background option.

I missed removing a call to the old ethtool function wrapper that was
made unneeded by commit d02d3af02.

This adds a new function that allows us to override some specific rc.conf
options via the kernel cmdline aka /proc/cmdline.
This makes esp. sense in cases where a rc_parallel enabled system has boot
issues. Simply disable rc_parallel by appending rc_parallel=no to your kernel
cmdline.
In the case of a single line of configuration, where the address has
parameters, the parameters were being treated as seperate addresses.
Eg:
config_eth0="4321:0:1:2:3:4:567:89ab/64 nodad home preferred_lft 0"
Also document usage of parameters in the net example, and note that
multiple addresses on a single line cannot be mixed with parameters.
Newlines are required to seperate the addresses.

Allow users to shorten iproute arguments to the shortest unique argument
that will match a flag of iproute2.

This commit provides the checkpath applet with feature parity to
systemd's tmpfiles.c create_item function.
Very similarly to the systemd function, it does NOT do any of the
cleanup work in this function.

The program function in depend blocks is now able to search paths by
itself. If passed multiple arguments or multiple calls, at least one of
the arguments passed must be a program or a shell builtin (eg ip built
into busybox). If a qualified path is specified, only that path will be
checked, otherwise it will be checked as a builtin, then $PATH will be
checked for the named binary (via type).

Some of the networking tools, such as iproute2, can be stored in one of
several locations. This function gives us a standard way to find these
tools.
I would like to thankRobin Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org> for his input on
this function.
This reverts commit f583030e3c.
The previous commit did not account for the case of not having iproute2
installed.

The old behaviour was to exit(EXIT_SUCCESS) in case the service has been stopped
already, even if further commands has been passed to the init script
(like zap, start).
So using for example /etc/init.d/foo stop zap start would abort immediately
after "stop" if the service has been stopped already. Though there may be cases
were we need it to proceed with the remaining commands, zap and start in this
case.
This patch fixes the behaviour to continue and proceed with the remaining
commands whenever necessary.

This test is incorrect, and we do not need the modprobe. If macvlan is a
module, it is automatically modprobed when the first macvlan link is
added. Also, the /sys directory referred to in the test does not exist
if macvlan is built into the kernel.

The logfile or its basedir may be read-only during shutdown because the
directory may be umounted or read-only remounted already. In this case we simply
skip this error.
This is related to a comment in bug 390645 but the initial bug is not fixed
through this commit.

Since commit 683a21b0a in Feburary 2011, iproute2 has been required for
new VLAN configuration. MACVLAN is also impossible to configure without
iproute2. However we did not check if iproute2 was actually in the
modules for a given interface, so it could end up hanging or giving
weird errors. Check for iproute2 before usage now.

We need to create interfaces of custom names before we can sucessfully
start them. To do this, we have to add tunnels during prestart instead
of start. Split up the ip6to4 script to do this, saving the computed
variables for use in start with the new service data commands.

Historically, we have tried to up interfaces before running preup, so
that the kernel setups up the device and makes things like ethtool work
(some hardware cannot be correct probed until then). However this ends
up breaking other hardware, so a variable has been introduced to allow
the up prior to preup to be disabled: up_before_preup_IFVAR=no
