Tobias WaldekranzandJoachim Wiberg 36d9056e8f board/common: Use finit's log: to capture output from containers
Since `conmon` only logs the output from the monitored container's
`stdout`/`stderr`, we might as well get rid of `k8s-logger`, and let
the output pass through to finit, which will then pipe the messages to
syslog.

Fix #836

Joachim Wiberg bb1a656a05 confd: drop fragile asynchronous container create/delete using execd
This is a complete redesign of how the system creates/deletes containers
from the running-config.  Containers are now removed synchronously from
confd before any interfaces they may be using are removed, and created
in parallel, using a Finit task, well after confd has finished setting
up interfaces.

The logic previously provided by execd to retry container create on any
route/address changes, or periodically every 60 seconds, is now handled
by a new 'setup' command in the container wrapper script.

Additionally, container create is now split in wget/curl/podman pull of
the image and 'podman create'.  This to both consolidate image fetching
and improve user feedback since most of the retry logic (above) revolves
around the image download.

Fixes #835

Joachim Wiberg 360d3b322d confd: use podman stop/start to prevent container corruption
Sending SIGTERM to conmon is not a safe shutdown of a podman container.
To handle gracefully handle shutdown, restarting and provide an orderly
start of dependencies, we use the Finit sysv trick via container script
wrapper to call 'podman stop foo'.

However, since podman does not support syslog as output for containers
we employ an old FIFO trick with another program, k8s-logger, to allow
logs to reach syslog.  Please note that k8s-logger must have properly
started before we call `podman start` -- this makes us fully dependent
on the 'container' wrapper script.  Hence the documentation update.
