[OE-core] [RFC PATCH 0/9] hybrid systemd/sysvinit

[Ross Burton]

Hi,

This series allows you to have both sysvinit and systemd in DISTRO_FEATURES.
Packages will be built with both init scripts, and some daemons will be linking
to libsystemd-daemon so that will be pulled in to sysvinit images.

The init manager used at image construction time is DISTRO_FEATURES_INITMAN
(maybe this should be renamed) and that value is also backfilled into
DISTRO_FEATURES.

The key change is that systemd.bbclass only recommends systemd, and will check
that there's a systemctl binary before calling it - this allows packages built
like this to be installed on a systemd-free image.

This is very much a RFC, I've done some basic testing but between illness and
having to prepare for a presentation at this conference I've not been able to
test it as much as I'd hoped.  Review and testing very much appreciated.

Some metrics: adding the systemd feature but still using sysvinit when building
the image results in just libsystemd-daemon and the service files being added to
the image, with a negliable size increase.
