This adds capabilities for start-stop-daemon by adding --capabilities
option. As a result, the user can specify the inheritable, ambient and
bounding set by define capabilities in the service script.
This fixes#314.
Add the following variables to expose more arguments that can be passed
to start-stop-daemon or supervise-daemon:
- directory will be passed to --chdir
- error_log will be passed to --stderr
- output_log will be passed to --stdout
- umask will be passed to umask
This is for #184.
In the past, OpenRC was a hybrid of a centralized and file-scope
license/copyright structure.
I followed the instructions from the Software Freedom Law Center [1] to
convert to a Centralized structure where possible, for easier future
maintenance.

The default start-stop-daemon start function expects the command
variable to be defined to point to the daemon we want to start.
If the variable is undefined, this means that there will be nothing to
start, and in this case we should complain because it is possible that
the script writer made a typo in the variable name.
The original way of doing this allowed users to change the supervisor in
conf.d/*. This changes this so that the supervisor setup can be done in
the service script itself.
