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.

Global change to many pages...
...
Various pages use inconsistent terms for 'null byte' (which
is the C99/SUSv3 term for the '\0' character).
To rectify this the following changes were made in these pages:
Replace 'zero byte' with 'null byte'.
Replace 'null character' with 'null byte'.
Replace 'nulls' with 'null bytes'.
Replace 'NUL-terminated' by 'null-terminated'.
Replace 'NUL' by 'null byte'.
Replace 'terminating NUL' by 'terminating null byte'.
Replace 'final NUL' by 'terminating null byte'.
Replace 'NUL character' by 'null byte'.
