add option to disable setting the system clock on boot for linux systems
This commit adds the clock_hctosys option which is used to skip setting the system clock on boot and can be used with a modern linux kernel which has the CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS option set to y. I would like to thank Dimitris Mandalidis for the report and for the patch to baselayout-1 on which my changes to openrc are based.
