[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/7] [RFC] Introduce services as a (long-term) replacement for _INSTALL_INIT_(SYSV|SYSTEMD) (branch yem/services)

Hello All!
Following up on Gustavo's proposal [0] on a clean up on our init
scripts (and eventually our systemd unit files), here is an *RFC*
series that tries to implement Gustavo's idea.
The series is split in four parts:
- patches 1-3 are preparatory work, and not much interesting in the
Grand Scheme of Life;
- patches 4-5 introduce a generated kconfig snippet, that contains
the list of services for each enabled packages, that the user can
enable/disable at will, directly from the menuconfig (for now, the
default is that all services are disabled, that can be changed
later);
- patch 6 is the guts that installs the service files:
- installs the service's startup script,
- enables/disables the service,
- installs the service's configuration, if it exists;
- patch 7 is just an example (with empty scripts) of how to declare
services in a package.
To be noted:
- the code will need some revamp; this is just meant to be an RFC!
- only sysv init is handled for now
- this is by far incomplete even for the sysv case
- the /etc/config/ part has been left out for now; it would anyway
most probably provided via a rootfs-overlay
- the manual part is missing
- there are typoes all over the place :-/
As usual: on your mark, get set, comment! ;-)
