When pid1 receives sigalarm, it forwards it to stage2 process, which,
in case of runsvdir, does what it usually does if 5 seconds are expired
*and* /etc/service directory is modified. After it is done, it writes
/etc/service/.forced-rescan.

Seems I was inaccurate in my wording -- you can't just send signal and
expect rescan to happen instantly,...

... but 1.5 seconds to definitely too much. I hope to take a look and
make more accurate testing on this, but my AFK life got quite
distracting recently.
