[9fans] another termrc gripe

[Scott Schwartz]

Right now termrc unconditionally tells
timesync to assume the rtc is not GMT.
Writing
aux/timesync -r $TIMESYNCGMT -a $TIMESYNCACCURACY
would let us set TIMESYNCGMT in termrc.local.

A similar environment variable, $USEDHCP say,
could control how ipconfig is launched.

I do wish rc had non-env variables, because
otherwise these things leak into /env.

I'll do it.

I changed the variable to TIMESYNCARGS (default -rLa1000000)
so that you can set anything you want in termrc.local.
I didn't do a USEDHCP because I think you should just do the ipconfig (or ppp)
in termrc.local if you're going to do that.  At least that's
what I do and it works quite well.
