The clock_hctosys variable should be set to YES if you are not using NTP to
synchronize your system time; it doesn't have anything to do with the
kernel configuration.
Previously, the default on linux systems was to not set the hardware
clock to match the system clock during shutdown.
This changes that default to be consistent with *bsd and swclock.
The clock_hctosys and clock_systohc settings really do not have anything
to do with running an ntp daemon, so remove that reference from the
documentation.

This commit adds the clock_hctosys option which is used to skip setting
the system clock on boot and can be used with a modern linux kernel
which has the CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS option set to y.
I would like to thank Dimitris Mandalidis for the report and for the
patch to baselayout-1 on which my changes to openrc are based.
