Originally the plan was to deprecate this code, but this will not be
happening. There are some subsystems which can still be autodetected, so
we are keeping this code and allowing users to override the automatic
detection with this variable as well as set it to other subtypes we
cannot autodetect.

This allows the default value of rc_sys to be set when openrc is
compiled. This will allow openrc to be installed, e.g. on vserver guests
and will allow them to be rebooted without the need to edit rc.conf.
This patch is a combined effort between myself and Robin Johnson.

The deprecation notice for automatic detection of the system type stated
that the automatic detection will be removed no later than 2010/03/01,
but it should state 2011/03/01.
- Fixes bugs #347583, #349389, both of which were triggered by cgroups
being detected as the LXC subsystem type.
- Makes it much easier to select "prefix" type.
- "rc -S" will now print a warning if you have not configured rc_sys in
/etc/rc.conf
- All other semantics of rc_sys are unchanged in this patch.
