I've made a toy service that always fails to start (exec false).
When I run sv check on it, I get this result:


```
$ sv check ./foo
ok: down: ./foo: 1s, want up

$ echo $?0
```

>From the documentation, I had expected check to fail as long as the actual
state didn't match the desired state, ie if there is any "want" clause. I'm
using `sv` check to wait for runit to reach a steady state before using
services.
