SysV-Style init

Edit Package sysvinit

System V style init programs by Miquel van Smoorenburg that control the
booting and shutdown of your system. These support a number of system
runlevels, each one associated with a specific set of utilities. For
example, the normal system runlevel is 3, which starts a getty on
virtual consoles tty1-tty6. Runlevel 5 starts xdm. Runlevel 0 shuts
down the system. See the individual man pages for inittab, initscript,
halt, init, powerd, reboot, runlevel, shutdown, and telinit for
more information.

- Add patch killproc-2.23.dif
  * Fix shell command in Makefile to get detection statx declaration correct 

- Update to sysvinit 3.10
  *  When the user executes "machinectl stop", systemd sends SIGRTMIN+4 to PID 1 
     in the container, and expects that to initiate a graceful shutdown (power-off).
     SysV init now catches this signal and initiates a shutdown (shutdown -hP now).
     - floppym provided patch to accomplish this.
  * Fix issue in bootlogd which could cause the service to enter an endless loop
    (and use too much CPU) when it is able to open a device for writing, but not actually
    able to write to it. This resulted in bootlogd closing and re-opening the device over
    and over. Now bootlogd should simply fail gracefully when it cannot write to an open
    file/device.
  * Fix formatting in shutdown.8 manual page. Cleaned up whitespace and special characters.
  * Patch for man/Makefile to fix the clean recipe.
    Provided by Lucas Nussabaum and Mark Hindley
  * On Linux systems, allow reboot command to pass a message
    to the system firmware during the restart. This is
    accomplished with the -m flag.
  * Patch from kraj which allows hddown to compile
    when musl is the C library.

Thanks for sharing some individual pages like inittab, initscript, halt, init, powerd, reboot, runlevel,bitlife, shutdown, and telinit. It is very useful.
