Subject:   * man/runsvdir.8: document that the services directory is
 re-scanned if     the time of last modification, the inode, or the device has
 changed.   * sv.c: don't report success on 'sv start' if the service is in
 state     finish (thx Matthew R. Dempsky).   * svlogd.c: new config line p:
 optionally prefix each line written to     logs, stderr, or through udp; no
 longer skip empty lines (just     containing '\n'), old behavior can be
 restored with '-' in config.   * man/svlogd.8: document new p config line;
 adapt. 1.5.0.
