/*
 * The startup component exists to start the `appmgr` component that exists
 * inside the `core` realm. This arrangement solves the problem that in some
 * builds `appmgr` is not included. It would be more straightforward to have
 * `appmgr` in a direct `eager` lineage from the root component, but that would
 * cause the system to crash in product configurations that don't include
 * `appmgr` because failure to start an `eager` child is fatal to a parent.
 * startup is not a child of the `core` component because that component is
 * itself stored in pkgfs, which may not be included in the build.
 *
 * startup works by using a capability routed to it from `appmgr`. startup
 * connects to this capability, tries to send a request, and exits. Success or
 * failure of the request is irrelevant, startup is just making the component
 * manager resolve and start `appmgr`, if it is present.
