Yeah, I thought about it, but right now I just wanted to have something
working. I don't think the format is going to change too much, I simply
didn't want to hard commit to not changing it; I'm not planning to add
more stuff to the ready file, unless it's reaaaaally related to the
service being ready, not only up.
If/when the ready file format changes, I'll provide a clean API around
it. For now, consider that the presence/absence of the file is the API,
and s6-svstat is the API if you want the notion of time.
