'shutdown -c' is supposed to power cycle the system rather than doing a normal
reboot. However, when that fails, it halts the system. This is not quite right
since the intent isn't to halt the system but to restart. Make the default init
behavior be to restart the system. The halt(8) interface can be used if you'd
like to powercycle or halt.

The original bug describes it best:
When an absolute time is specified to shutdown, the program's
behavior depends on whether that time has passed during the
current calendar day. POLA would suggest that for shutdown,
whose time argument is always supposed to be in the future,
absolute times specified without a specific date should refer
to the next occurrence of that time, rather than erroring out
if that time has already passed during the current day.

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

It is implemented as a hard link to shutdown(8) and it is equivalent of:
# shutdown -p now
While I'm here put one line of usage into one line of C code so it is easier to
grep(1) and separate unrelated code with empty line.

Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.

running /etc/rc.shutdown by init(8).

the halt/reboot options -h, -p, and -r.
- The -n "don't sync" option is ignored if -k is specified.

The only essential change is in paths.h, so any third-party software
