Michael Kerrisk 92aebf8f75 Update the RTC man page to reflect the new RTC class framework: 
- Generalize ... it's not just for PC/AT style RTCs, and there
   may be more than one RTC per system.

 - Not all RTCs expose the same feature set as PC/AT ones; most
   of these ioctls will be rejected by some RTCs.

 - Be explicit about when {A,P}IE_{ON,OFF} calls are needed.

 - Describe the parameter to the get/set epoch request; correct
   the description of the get/set frequency parameter.

 - Document RTC_WKALM_{RD,SET}, which don't need AIE_{ON,OFF} and
   which support longer alarm periods.

 - Hey, not all system clock implementations count timer irqs any
   more now that the new RT-derived clock support is merging.

Hello Pavel,

The man command on Linux is actually case insensitive with respect
to page names, so "man ttys" works!  Nevertheless, I agree with 
you, and I've changed the pages as you suggest.
