This adds capabilities for start-stop-daemon by adding --capabilities
option. As a result, the user can specify the inheritable, ambient and
bounding set by define capabilities in the service script.
This fixes#314.
This commit adds a new --oom-score-adj option to start-stop-daemon and
supervise-daemon, as well as an equivalent SSD_OOM_SCORE_ADJ environment
variable. If either of these are specified (with the command-line
option taking precedence), then the specified adjustment value is
written to /proc/self/oom_score_adj after forking but prior to exec'ing
the daemon (at the time when nice and ionice are applied).
Additionally, per a suggestion by Mike Frysinger, the suggested values
for the SSD_NICELEVEL, SSD_IONICELEVEL, and SSD_OOM_SCORE_ADJ variables
in the example config file are now given as zeros, which are the
kernel's default values of these process knobs for the init process at
boot. Note that uncommenting any of these zero-valued suggestions will
cause SSD/SD to set the corresponding process knob affirmatively to
zero, whereas leaving the variable unset (and the equivalent command-
line option unspecified) means SSD/SD will not change the corresponding
process knob from its inherited value.

This fixes#435.
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.

New option so you can set the number of seconds to wait for and
check the daemon is still running.
The old code that periodically polled wasn't that reliable - in this
case simpler == better.
Fixes#160
query runlevels, services and state without using bash. We also provide
libeinfo so other programs can easily use our informational functions.
As such, we have dropped the requirement of using bash as the init script
shell. We now use /bin/sh and have strived to make the scripts as portable
as possible. Shells that work are bash and dash. busybox works provided
you disable s-s-d. If you have WIPE_TMP set to yes in conf.d/bootmisc you
should disable find too.
zsh and ksh do not work at this time.
Networking support is currently being re-vamped also as it was heavily bash
array based. As such, a new config format is available like so
config_eth0="1.2.3.4/24 5.6.7.8/16"
or like so
config_eth0="'1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0' '5.6.7.8 netmask 255.255.0.0'"
We will still support the old bash array format provided that /bin/sh IS
a link it bash.
ChangeLog for baselayout-1 can be found in our SVN repo.
