Summary:                    Allow signal to restart init
Description: 
The init applet will restart (re-exec) itsself when it
receives a SIGHUP.  However, just before it enters its
main loop, it resets SIGHUP to either re-load the inittab
(or ignore it if no inittab is used).  Thus preventing
the re-exec option from being triggerable.

This patch adds a signal handler for SIGQUIT for init that
always causes init to re-exec itsself (along with killing
anything else that might be still running).
