confd: replace initctl shell-outs with direct finit_ C API

Add a finit_enable/disable/reload() family in core.c that directly
manipulates Finit's service state without fork+exec overhead:

  finit_enable(svc)  -- create symlink in /etc/finit.d/enabled/
  finit_disable(svc) -- remove symlink from /etc/finit.d/enabled/
  finit_delete(svc)  -- remove both symlink and service entirely
  finit_reload(svc)  -- utimensat() on .conf to schedule reload

Printf-style variants (finit_enablef/disablef/reloadf) handle
template instance names such as container@foo and hostapd@wlan0.

All systemf("initctl ... enable/disable/touch ...") call sites across
containers, dhcp-server, firewall, hardware, ntp, routing, services,
syslog, and system are converted to the new API.

As a related cleanup in services.c, drop the remaining srx_enabled()
calls in favour of reading the already-fetched config tree directly
via lydx_is_enabled(lydx_get_xpathf(config, ...)), eliminating the
last sysrepo round-trips from that module.
