The -f option can be used when showing the status of services in
runlevels to allow making the output more easily parsable.
Currently, the .ini format is the only one supported.
These services represent the parts of the keymaps and termencoding
services which saved the settings back to the root file system so they
can be loaded very early in the boot process.
These are needed to allow keymaps and termencoding to run earlier in the
boot sequence.

Health checks are a way to monitor a service and make sure it stays
healthy.
If a service is not healthy, it will be automatically restarted after
running the unhealthy() function to clean up.
We do not need to do this any longer since all supported linux kernels
make efivarfs immutable and the tools that manipulate it are aware of
this feature.
This fixes https://github.com/openrc/openrc/issues/238.
This removes localmount from the dependencies of the consolefont,
keymaps, numlock and procfs services.
These services are Linux only and the default modern linux system has /
and /usr on the same file system.
This also fixes the following issue.

The OpenRC team does not currently know of any modern linux tools that
require /etc/mtab to be a flat file, so this puts users on notice that
the mtab service will be removed in the future.
openrc-init.c and openrc-shutdown.c are based on code which was written by
James Hammons <jlhamm@acm.org>, so I would like to publically
thank him for his work.
Since deptree2dot and the perl requirement are completely optional, we
can move this tool to the support folder. This gives the user the option
of using it if they have perl installed, and means we do not have an
optional runtime dependency on perl.
Documentation for this tool has also been added to the support folder.
