Bug#960940: RFS: runit/2.1.2-37 [RC] -- system-wide service supervision

[Lorenzo Puliti <plorenzo@disroot.org>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Followup-For: Bug #960940

Dear mentors,

I'm still looking for a sponsor and I've uploaded again
with the following changes:

 * autopkgtest on #953875 (unwanted init switch) marked as superficial
 * Change the name of the special rundirectory to run selected service 
   in container: renamend from 'isolation' to 'solo' (to avoid confusion
   with docker isolation feature)
 * New runit-run package: do not restart the systemd service on upgrade.
   Restarting the whole supervision tree can be dangerous if certain services
   that do not support runtime restart are supervised (think dbus or any display manager)
   (this issue is unreported on BTS for now and affects runit-systemd package)
 * New runit-run package: use 'telinit q' to start the supervision tree after
   install and to stop it after removal, when running under sysvinit. 
   The current (somehow buggy) behaviour with runit-sysv package is that changes
   in /etc/inittab are effective only after a system reboot. 

Full datail below
