Make execline dependency optional
 This includes:
 - adding a configure option to disable execline support
 - duplicating el_semicolon() and el_getstrict() into the s6 library
when execline is disabled at build time, making a compat shim and
using it where needed (s6-svlisten, s6-ftrig-listen)
 - Creating alternatives for execlineb script spawning:
   * s6-log: '?' directive (done in the previous commit)
   * s6-notifyoncheck: require hardcoding the check in ./data/check
   * s6-ipcserver-access: no support for exec files, add a warning
 - Updating the relevant parts of the doc

 --enable-execline will remain the default, and whiners can choke
on their tears.
