I'm not sure this should really be thought of as a special service; since
the supervisor is responsible for restarting the target program, this would
also seem to be the logical place to handle respawn limits.

Having said that, an external implementation does work, although the code
is a little more complicated since it becomes necessary to maintain some
sort of external state.  If the limiter were implemented in runsv, for
example, it could all be managed internally without the necessity of
reading and writing an external file.

But with a working external solution, I'm probably too lazy to pursue
anything else.
