Add progress bar to spinfinity

The progress bar uses an estimate of boot time - defaulting to
45 seconds if unknown - and runs from 0% to 100% over that
interval.

The patch measures how long it takes to boot and writes that
value to /var/lib/boottime at plugin shutdown. (This is kind of
a nice side-effect - we get actual *measured* boot speed data,
rather than just "feels snappier!")

There's an associated script, update-boottime, that crams
/var/lib/boottime into your initrd, so this splash plugin can
use *that* to more closely approximate the time required to
boot.

This is similar to the OS X "WaitingForLoginWindow" process -
see
http://daringfireball.net/misc/2005/04/tiger_details#waitingforloginwindow
for details on that.

It's an effective placebo - startup *seems* faster with the
progress bar, even though it's exactly the same.

You can enable it by adding 'timebar:1' to the boot commandline.
This will make it run in linear-time mode - the progress bar
moves linearly from 0% to 100%.

Using 'timebar:2' modifies the percentage calculation to use an
exponential function - this makes the bar run faster at first,
then slow as it approaches 100%. This makes startup seem even
faster.
