This updates both the init script and the udev hwclock script.
Also, the init script is still needed to sync the clock on
shutdown; AFAIK udev only triggers the hwclock on startup when
the rtc device is registered. In addition to that, this ensures
that it works uniformly on non-Linux- and non-udev-using systems.
The (previously undocumented) configuration variables for both
the init script and the udev script are now set in
/etc/default/hwclock.
