Several people have asked about halting fossil before reboot.  I'm
sure people running fossil regularly have their own scripts to do it,
but it seems reasonable to have a default utility to do the job, which
comes with the standard distribution.

The rc script goes in /rc/bin/fossil/halt, the man page (just an
addition to fossil(4)) goes in /sys/man/4/fossil.  Halt does a couple
of "sync"-s to fossil and echoes "halt" to /srv/fscons, which is the
standard fossil console for pcf kernels.  After halting a machine no
new programs will run, which means that you need to reboot it, unless
you have an open console to /srv/fscons on which to type 'unhalt'.

I'm sending this to 9fans because patch(1) isn't operational yet,
though I will resubmit it there once Russ gets it going.
