Add ftrigr_checksa(), rewrite s6_svlisten_loop() around it
- Fixes the race condition hit by permanent failure, i.e. two ftrig events close to each other - Requires storing the sequence of events client-side, so an additional stralloc, bleh - The visible struct ftrigr_s changes, so a major bump is needed -> prepare for 2.6.0.0 - ftrigr_check() is now a trivial wrapper around ftrigr_checksa()
