[gentoo-doc] handbook needs updates for openrc and baselayout-2

There is a thread on Gentoo Forums about Gentoo Handbook being outdated:
<http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-879875-highlight-.html>

I'm not sure if the user is going to file a bug or not, so I just
decided to post here. Please note that more updates would be needed, for
example the syntax for /etc/conf.d/net has changed.

We know. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213988

It's not just the handbook. It's hundreds of pages that need updating. It looks like I'll have to do them all by myself. That's why I haven't touched any of them yet.

The latest comment (today, by Claude Juif) on the OpenRC/baselayout-2 docs 
tracker bug...

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213988#c34

... appears related.  He doesn't mention the forums and the nick is 
different (tho that doesn't mean much), but the comment covers the same 
material, the clock/hwclock and net initscripts, in the same context.
