- Improved logging on failure to `execvp()` a run/task/service, now
with `errno`, e.g., "No such file or directory" when the command
is missing from `$PATH`
- Add support for Bash completion to `initctl`, issue #360
- Add Bash completion support for `initctl`, configurable, issue #360
- Handle absolute path to `initctl [enable|disable]`, not supported
- Update `finit.conf(5)` man page with the recommended directory
hierarchy in `/etc/finit.d/`

- Plugins and bundled services: dbus, keventd, watchdogd, and runparts,
are now loaded *after* all services in `/lib/finit/system/`. A new
runtime-only path (for inspection) in `/run/finit/system/` is used
- Redirect `log*` output to console when `finit.debug` is enabled
- Assert `<int/container>` condition if we detect running in container
- Add support for mdev's netlink daemon mode, issue #367
- Add support for mdevd in `10-hotplug.conf`, preferred over plain mdev
- Disable modprobe plugin by default, udevd and mdev/mdevd loads modules
- Update documentation for run/task shell limitations, issue #376
- Update documentation regarding automount of `/run` and `/tmp`
- Update plugin documentation, add section about limited tmpfiles.d(5) support
- Skip registering service when `if:!name` matches a known service.
This allows conditional loading of alternative services, e.g. if udevd
is already loaded we do not need mdevd
- Drop `doc/bootstrap.md`, inaccurate and confusing to users

### Fixes

at bootstrap is now saved in `/run/finit/conf.order` for inspection,
`/run/finit/exec.order` shows the start order of each process
- Fix #372: lost `udevadm` calls due to overloading
- Adjust final `udevadm settle` timeout: 5 -> 30 sec
- Fixed dbus plugin, the function that located `<pidfile> ...` in the
`dbus/system.conf` caused spurious line breaks which led to the
service not being loaded properly
- The `runparts` executor now skips backup files (`foo~`)
- The `runparts` stanza now properly appends ` start` to scripts that
start with `S[0-9]+`. This has been broken for a very long time.
- Fix #377: expand service `env:file` variables, allow constructs like:

RUNDIR=/var/run/somesvc
DAEMON_ARGS=--workdir $RUNDIR --other-args...
- Fix #378: warn on console if run/task times out during bootstrap
- Fix #378: add run/task support for `<!>` to allow transition from
bootstrap to multi-user runlevel even though task has not run yet.
- Fix #382: do not clear `<service/foo/STATE>` conditions on reload.
Introduced back in v4.3-rc2, 82cc10be8, the support for automatic
service conditions have had a weird and unintended behavior. Any
change in state (see `doc/svc-machine.png`) caused Finit to clear
out *all* previously acquired service conditions.

However, when moving between RUNNING and PAUSED states, a service
should not have its conditions cleared. The PAUSED state, seen
also by all conditions moving to FLUX, is only temporary while an
`initctl reload` is processed. If a service has no changes to be
applied it will move back to RUNNING.

Also, we cannot clear the service conditions because other run/task
or services may depend on it and clearing them would cause Finit to
`SIGTERM` these processes (since they are no longer eligible to run).
