// schinitd -- the supervisor. PID 2, and restartable.
//
// Everything that used to make PID 1 complicated lives here: reading
// /etc/schinit, parsing manifests, deciding what runs, respawn policy and
// throttling. docs/architecture/init.md calls this "where the bugs will be", which is
// exactly why it is a separate program -- a bug here is a restart, not a panic.
//
// The one rule that makes the split worth having:
//
//   **This program never forks a job.** It decides, and asks PID 1 to act. So
//   every job on the machine is a child of PID 1 at all times, and this
//   process dying orphans nothing, reparents nothing and restarts nothing. It
//   comes back, reads /proc/schinit, and finds the world exactly as it left it.
//
// A supervisor that forked its own children could not be restarted without
// either losing them to reparenting or racing the new copy to adopt them --
// the split-brain failure docs/architecture/init.md rejects the two-init scheme for.
