All definitions of the Epoch have been refactored to the following:

  1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 (UTC)

That form is more consistent, logical, precise, and internationally
recognizable than the other variants.

Also, some wording has been altered as well.

The tendency in English, as prescribed in style guides like
Chicago MoS, is towards removing hyphens after prefixes
like "non-" etc.

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.
