NEW: sysutils/dinit

Hi all,

Here's a port of Dinit: a process supervisor.

I've been using this to run things that I want to run in the background
as me:

---8<---
$ dinitctl list
[{+} ] boot
[{+} ] mail-loop (pid: 10728)
[{+} ] syncthing (pid: 6734)
[{+} ] mpd (pid: 82135)
$ dinitctl stop mpd
Service stopped.
$ dinitctl list
[{+} ] boot
[{+} ] mail-loop (pid: 10728)
[{+} ] syncthing (pid: 6734)
[ {-}] mpd
$ kill 6734 # Pretend syncthing crashed.
$ dinitctl list
[{+} ] boot
[{+} ] mail-loop (pid: 10728)
[{+} ] syncthing (pid: 96866)
[ {-}] mpd
--->8---

I've supplied a rc script in case anyone wishes to manage system-wide
services using it. Note that the system-wide instance runs as root so
that it can start services which need root permissions for whatever
reason. I've added a note to that effect in the README.

Comments? OK?
