testing/dinit-alpine: new aport

Bart Ribbers requested to merge PureTryOut/aports:testing_dinit-alpine into master

I wanted to experiment with dinit instead of OpenRC on my system, and for that we need a bunch of basic init files to boot the system. I created a repo currently at https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/PureTryOut/dinit-alpine to host these. So far it can be used to boot the system (set either init=/sbin/dinit on the kernel command line or replace the symlink at /sbin/init to one that points to /sbin/dinit), but shutting down currently hangs after dinit gave the signal to the kernel to shutdown and that'll need some debugging (see PureTryOut/dinit-alpine#1).

Note that this probably isn't that useful for most people yet, almost all services one would want to run have no dinit-compatible service files yet, so use this only for experimentation!

CC @sertonix, since you are the maintainer of testing/dinit you might have an interest in this.
