Summary:                    Add --reverse option to run-parts
Description: 
First off, I think busybox is an amazing project. The program makes
building small Linux systems much easier, and I thank you for your hard
workd.

Would it be possible to add the --reverse option to the run-parts applet?
I can see this being useful, for example, to stop a list of init.d scripts
in the reverse order that they were started.

I was starting to look at implementing this since i need to update
run_parts due to other changes.

The argument handling of run_parts needs changing to allow for an llist
for it's "-a" argument. IIRC this also implies that another applet needed
an update due to this change (my memory is fuzzy about that, though).
Also, ifupdown::execute_all() may want to optionally call run_parts
directly, while we are at it.
