Subject:  Prepare for 0.7.0.0; lots of changes!

 - s6-rc-bundle deleted. Changing bundles without recompiling is not
supported anymore. (It works, but it incentivizes poor workflows; it is
better to handle stuff at the source level and recompile when in doubt,
that's what s6-frontend does.)
 - new db format, need to recompile and use s6-rc-format-upgrade on new live db
 - support for the reload-signal file in service directories
 - new reload scripts for oneshots (which is why the db format has changed)
 - new "s6-rc reload" command, calling s6-svc -l on longruns (which makes use
of reload-signal, HUP by default) and the reload script on oneshots
 - the live state now tracks when a service has been explicitly brought up
as opposed to by pulled by dependencies. Nothing uses the feature for now
but now the tech is there for an auto-stop-if-unneeded feature.
