This patch adds plymouth, the early bootprocess daemon.
It provides a 'boot splash'.
Users will not install this on their own (or be able to
use it freestanding) which is why we need at least a
system-service for this.
I'd hate to be the bottleneck for this, so here is my work
from back in december (builds okay!).
According to Gentoo, we will need to apply changes to the
GRUB menu and are advised to disable the linux boot logo
display (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Plymouth).
I also advise like we concluded in a chat in december,
that we write a system test for this.

Commit 5b9bdeb52cc25e35e74bbc10fa102e3fcc4baab9 adds Plymouth.
I updated to 0.9.4, removed all the unnecessary configure and make
flags, removed GTK support because it blew up the closure size from
~200MB to 800MB, which isn’t suitable for use in an initrd.
I tried using it in a VM, but I haven’t yet been able to make the splash
appear. It seems to be unable to find a graphical display and switches
to the “detailed” view, which merely prints to the console.
I did try loading uvesafb in the initrd, but all I get is a garbled
screen.
On the plus side, plymouth does work as expected on my booted machine,
so I went ahead and pushed the commit.
