7928 Add support for SMF_EXIT_NODAEMON

Upstream of part of Joyent's OS-1159
Work by Jerry Jelinek


Some services do not need to run inside a zone and so currently spawn a background while/sleep loop so that the service contract does not become empty.

For example, the datalink-management service method contains:

if smf_is_nonglobalzone; then
    (while true ; do sleep 3600 ; done) & 
    exit $SMF_EXIT_OK
fi

and in an NGZ:

root@hawkeye:~# ps -ef | grep dlm
    root  4513  4302   0   Jan 22 ?           0:00 /sbin/sh /lib/svc/method/svc-dlmgmtd

root@hawkeye:~# pstack 4513
4513:   /sbin/sh /lib/svc/method/svc-dlmgmtd

 fed67c98 sleep    (e10, 0, ffffffff, fed67d5d, 0, 40ac2000) + 8a

 fed9859e exfile   (fedeee80, 80bac40) + 7c9
 fed9900c sh_main  (2, 8047de0, 0, 0) + 889
 08051040 main     (fedf0140, fef67388, 8047db8, 8050f08, 2, 8047de0) + 56
 08050f08 _start_crt (2, 8047de0, fefd0d40, 0, 0, 0) + 97
 08050dda _start   (2, 8047ec8, 8047ed1, 0, 8062260, 8047f11) + 1a

With this change, the service method can exit SMF_EXIT_NODAEMON which satisfies all dependencies and does not leave a process hanging around.

Most whitespace nit fixes are in the second patch set.
