Please review wiki article "init and inittab"

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Init_and_inittab
diff against old version: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?ti … did=120785

Much of the knowledge was learned from this thread.

A lot of enhancements. To summary:

• Changed the title from "inittab" to current one; created redirections from "init";

• A detailed explanation on the mechanism of init and the entry format of inittab;

• Reorganized the sections explaining inittab entries to agree with the order of default inittab of Arch;

• A lot of language polishing;

TODOs:

• Write an overview. Currently the overview is still split into two parts (beginning of article and the "overview" section). I'd like to use the summary templates, but I'm running out of time now. Also, I'm neither familiar with the syntax or good at writing a summary. Help is needed;

• The language in some sections may still be bad, or even have been made worse, due to my English level. Need review of a fluent speaker.

I only glanced through the older version, but the revisions look great.  Thanks for cleaning it up!
