Merge lp:~jamesodhunt/upstart/disable-system-bus into lp:upstart

[James Hunt]

* init/control.c: Typo.
* init/main.c: Add '--no-dbus' command-line option.
  init/man/init.8: Added '--no-dbus' option.

This option has the effect of stopping Session Inits having access to system-level events for those systems which require such behaviour; in such environments, even if the upstart-event-bridge is running, no events will (can) be proxied from the system level.

A side-effect of booting with '--no-dbus' is that a non-priv user will be unable to query system jobs using initctl (since such users will not have access to the private socket). However, for those making use of '--no-dbus', such behaviour would be deemed a security advantage rather than a limitation.

[Stéphane Graber (stgraber)]

The code looks good to me, we should just add one test to confirm that upstart with --disable-dbus won't do anything on SIGUSR1.

* util/tests/test_initctl.c: test_no_dbus(): New test to test
  '--no-dbus' option.

1536. By James Hunt on 2013-09-19

* util/tests/test_initctl.c: test_no_dbus(): Added explicit test for
  SIGUSR1 handling.

Hi Stéphane - new tests added.
