Commit 5a1ee6eb added support for disabling use of start-stop-daemon
via a placeholder in the default launch script. Unfortunately, that
placeholder was subsequently broken in 81a47639.
This commit reinstates the placeholder and adds tests to verify that all
of the placeholders in the launch script can be replaced and that they
have the required default values. Furthermore, it also allows the use of
start-stop-daemon to be configured via USE_START_STOP_DAEMON in an
app’s .conf file. This allows the configuration to be changed after the
app has been built.

Previously, if an application’s main method threw an exception,
MainMethodRunner would catch the exception and call System.exit(1).
This meant that the JVM would exit, irrespective of whether or not
any non-daemon threads were running. In contrast, when an application’s
main method was invoked directly (in an IDE, for example) the JVM
would not exit if one or more non-daemon threads were running. This
is standard JVM behaviour that we should be consistent with in the
launcher.
This commit updates MainMethodRunner to wrap any exception thrown by an
application’s main method in a RuntimeException and rethrow it. This
alllows the JVM to handle the exception and use its normal rules for
deciding whether or not it should exit.

Generalize the `skip` property to start and stop goals so that one
can control if the Spring Boot app is starting via a configuration
property.
Note that this only controls the Spring Boot Maven plugin and the
failsafe maven plugin should be updated accordingly.

PropertiesLauncher creates a ClassLoader that is used by the Launcher
to load an application’s classes. During the creation of this
ClassLoader URLs from its ClassLoader. This resulted resulting in Java
agents that are added to the system class loader via the -javaagent
launch option being available on both the system class loader and the
created class loader. Java agents are intended to always be loaded by
the system class loader. Making them available on another class loader
breaks this model.
This is the same problem that was in ExecutableArchiveLauncher and
that was fixed in ee08667e (see gh-863).
This commit updates PropertiesLauncher so that it skips the URLs of
any Java agents (found by examining the JVM’s input arguments) when
copying URLs over to the new ClassLoader, thereby ensuring that Java
agents are only ever loaded by the system class loader.

Previously, the default launch script would send SIGTERM once and then
wait for up to 60 seconds for the app to have stopped. If the service
was stopped immediately after being started the first SIGTERM would
occasionally be ignored (presumably because the JVM was not yet in a
state to handle it) causing the service stop request to fail.
This commit updates the launch script to resend SIGTERM to the process
if it's still running 30 seconds after the first SIGTERM was sent.
Closes gh-4941
$arguments needs to be split on spaces so it can’t just be wrapped
in quotes. This commit updates arguments to be an array that is then
expanded ("{arguments[@]}"). The use of @ and double quotes means that
it is expanded into all elements individually quoted.

This commit completes the changes to consistently used static final
fields for Log instances that were started in ec2f33f9. Specifically it:
- Removes this. when accessing logger fields that are now static
- Renames some fields from log to logger
- Makes some logger fields static

81a4763 introduced a regression when multiple RUN_ARGS or JAVA_OPTS were
configured. Rather than the JVM being launched with multiple arguments
all of the RUN_ARGS or JAVA_OPTS were passed as a single argument. This
caused unexpected behaviour and typically caused the application to fail
to start.
This commit updates the quoting of the arguments the are supplied when
launching the app using start-stop-daemon so that space-separated
entries in RUN_ARGS and JAVA_OPTS remain separate.
Closes gh-4866
Previously, the launch script used which to determine the availability
of start-stop-daemon. which isn’t available by default on all OSs.
For example, it’s not available by default on CentOS 5.
This commit updates the launch script to use type when determining if
start-stop-daemon is available. This improves the portability of the
script and makes the use of type consistent throughout the script.
Closes gh-4925
Previously, the launch script would wait for the pid file to exist
before continuing. This didn’t work 100% of the time as it left a
window where the file had been created but the PID had not been written
to it that could result in an incorrect report of the app failing to
start.
This commit updates the script to wait for the file to have a size
greater than zero before continuing. This ensures that the pid has
been written to the file before the pid is read from the file and used
to check that the process is running.
Closes gh-4923
Update exit code support to allow the ExitCodeGenerator interface to
be placed on an Exception. Any uncaught exception implementing the
interface and returning a non `0` status will now trigger a System.exit
with the code.

Ensure that Collections.isEmpty() is used to check if there are no
elements in a collections. This is more explicit and can be faster than
calling .size().
Closes gh-4783
Exiting with 0 when cd fails is likely to be incorrectly interpreted
as success so we should exit with a non-zero value. Ideally, the init
script status action would exit with 4 but, at the point when
the cd is performed, we don’t even know if we’re running as an init
script. Exiting with 1 seems to be a reasonable compromise as it’s
fine for the non init-script case as well as being correct for all
init script actions other than status.

Allow users to easily opt-opt of using the start-stop-daemon in the
launch script. This may be required on distros that include older
versions.

Replace all new-line characters in multi-line pom descriptions before
inserting into the launcher script. Prior to this commit the shell would
attempt to execut the extra lines, for example:
<description>
A multi-line pom description that could do something terrible:
rm -r foo
</description>

Some libraries like aspectj are using findResource to see the raw
bytecode of a class. It will even call findResource for every method of
every class of beans that are post processed. This can be significant
performance hit on startup when LaunchedURLClassLoader and there are a
lot of nested jars.
See gh-3640
Fixes gh-4557
There’s a race condition in start-stop-daemon when --make-pidfile and
--background are used together [1]. This race condition can lead to the
command returning before the PID file has been created. The missing PID
file then causes the launch script to incorrectly report that the
service failed to start.
This commit updates the launch script to wait for up to 10 seconds for
the PID file to be created when start-stop-daemon is used to launch the
app.

Update the launch script so that the PID file is not longer removed at

wasn't able to stop on the first run, it wasn't possible to use the

The HUP signal was being used to stop the service and for some reason,
sometimes it was being ignored. This commit change forces the use of the
