Logd is a special case. Every other service effectively has an implicit
dependency on it for sending log messages to it and even init itself
depends on it for it's own log messages.
With this only the env vars set using export or explicitly specify for a
service are passed to services (in addition to RUST_BACKTRACE, PATH and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH). As such we no longer need to manually unset bootloader
env vars to keep the environment clean. And finally this means that env
var substitutions in shell scripts always use the bootloader provided
env vars rather than locally specified ones.
This does regress multi monitor support when there is no proper graphics
driver.
The working directory doesn't matter for services and login sessions
already cd to the user home directory. This removes one source of global
state manipulation.
This sets PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and runs init scripts for the new root.
In the future this could replace the entire set of services that should
run, restarting any services for which a newer executable is available
in the new root and stopping any services which don't exist in the new
root. This behavior could also be useful for soft-reboots in the future
to handle updates without rebooting the entire system.
Unfortunately the scheme still has to be created by the daemon due to a
kernel bug, but once that is fixed, it would allow delayed spawning of
scheme daemons.
