init: propagate exit conditions of children

Browse Source 
This patch extends the configuration concept of init with an additional
sub node for the <start> node:

<start name="noux">
  <exit propagate="yes"/>
  ...
</start>

If the 'propagate' attribute is set to "yes", the exit of the respective
child will appear to init's parent as the exit of the entire init
subsystem.

Fixes #1686

Propagation of exit events
==========================
A component can notify its parent about its graceful exit via the exit RPC
function of the parent interface. By default, init responds to such a
notification from one of its children by merely printing a log message but
ignores it otherwise. However, there are scenarios where the exit of a
particular child should result in the exit of the entire init component. To
propagate the exit of a child to the parent of init, start nodes can host the
optional sub node '<exit>' with the attribute 'propagate' set to "yes".
! <config>
! <start name="noux">
! <exit propagate="yes"/>
! ...
! </start>
! </config>
The exit value specified by the exiting child is forwarded to init's parent.
