- Make the -k "don't actually halt" flag incompatible with
the halt/reboot options -h, -p, and -r.
- The -n "don't sync" option is ignored if -k is specified.
Issue a warning message.
- Compute the actual shutdown time written to /var/run/nologin
correctly in the case of "now" being specified.
This is inteded for to allow ifconfig to print various unstructured
information from an interface.
The data is returned from the kernel in ASCII form, see the comment in
if.h for some technicalities.

Initial use:
Now tun* interfaces tell the PID of the process which opened them.
Future uses could be (volounteers welcome!):
Have ppp/slip interfaces tell which tty they use.
Make sync interfaces return their media state: red/yellow/blue
alarm, timeslot assignment and so on.
Make ethernets warn about missing heartbeats and/or cables
"nowin95" as arguments to the "-o" flag, as alternatives to "-G", "-s",
"-l", and "-9"; when running "mount_msdos" by hand, that doesn't let you
do anything you couldn't already do, but if you're letting "mount" run
it, it lets you specify those options, which is especially useful if,
for example, you have an entry in "/etc/fstab" for some file system,
with "noauto" set, so you can conveniently mount a DOS partition from a
removable drive and force it to treat the file system as VFAT rather
than boring old FAT.

One could now use such a name by escaping the ``-'' characters.
