I dont like the fact that svc has to use an external script to function.
Id rather create a function inside svc for the needed functionality that
bare.sh has.

I aim to make svc, and its example servie scripts to be posix.
portabilty is important, but so is using the best tool for the job, so we have
to figure something out here. but first and foremost, we will weed out non-posix
behaviour.

these need to be checked:
[] svc
service scripts:
[] barebone
[] sdhcp
[] iwd
[] mdevd

Current problematic commands:
(currently taken from the top of my head. Ill edit in those Ill find later.)

• pidof is initially used in service scripts, to find the PID of a service
  • im sure we could use ps here.
• pkill is used for the same reason
  • kill would solve this
  • we would then need to fetch the service PID(s) first
• stat
  • there is no way afaik to get the same output with posix tools as stat, so
    we'd have to figure out a way to bypass stat alltogether

I find the use of $PARAM variable and respective files to just make thing
unneccessary complicated.
Service scripts also runs fine without it, making it redundant.
the content of $PARAM can also just be housed locally in the service scripts,
similarly to other service managers.
