 Modified Files:
        src/etc: rc rc.subr
 
 Log Message:
 In rc.subr, add _have_rc_postprocessor function and use it instead of
 inline tests like [ -n "${_rc_postprocessor_fd}" ]. The new function
 performs a few new tests, including verifying that /etc/rc is still
 running (using a new _rc_pid variable set by /etc/rc).
 
 This is intended to deal with the case that a script run from /etc/rc
 spawns a background process, then /etc/rc exits, but the background
 process still has environment variables inherited from /etc/rc.
 
 Fixes PR 46546.
