rc: allow switching runlevels without stopping services

Browse Source 
OpenRC, by default, stops all services that are not listed in a runlevel
when rc is used to switch runlevels. This adds a -n/--no-stop command
line option to rc which tells it to skip stopping the services which are
not in the runlevel.
