Jakub Jirutka 953172c6c6 supervise-daemon: don't overwrite empty supervise_daemon_args
If supervise_daemon_args is not set *or empty*, it defaults to
`start_stop_daemon_args`. This is bad because supervise-daemon doesn't
accept the same options as `start-stop-daemon`. So if we set e.g.
`start_stop_daemon_args="--wait 50"`, but not `supervise_daemon_args`,
and the user adds `supervisor=supervise-daemon` to the corresponding
/etc/conf.d/<service> file, the service will fail to start due to
unrecognized option "wait".

It would be best to remove this fallback, but that might break some
existing scripts that depend on it. So this commit just changes it to
use `start_stop_daemon_args` as the default for `supervise_daemon_args`
only if `supervise_daemon_args` is not set at all, but not if it's
empty.

This at least simplifies workarounds; we can just add
`supervise_daemon_args="$supervise_daemon_args"` to init scripts.

This fixes #558.

OpenRC README

OpenRC is a dependency-based init system that works with the system-provided init program, normally /sbin/init.

building and installing

OpenRC uses the meson build system, so use the usual methods for this build system to build and install.

Notes

We don't support building a static OpenRC with PAM.

PKG_PREFIX should be set to where packages install to by default.

LOCAL_PREFIX should be set to where user maintained packages are. Only set LOCAL_PREFIX if different from PKG_PREFIX.

ROOTPREFIX should be set when the root path is different from '/'.

rc and rc.shutdown are the hooks from the BSD init into OpenRC.

devd.conf is modified from FreeBSD to call /etc/rc.devd which is a generic hook into OpenRC.

inittab is the same, but for SysVInit as used by most Linux distributions. This can be found in the support folder.

Obviously, if you're installing this onto a system that does not use OpenRC by default then you may wish to backup the above listed files, remove them and then install so that the OS hooks into OpenRC.
