rtcwake: misc cleanups

Cleanups for rtcwake:

  - Minor doc updates:  highlight the framebuffer problem,
    give correct history of this code
  - Improve debug output
  - Fix some linelength bugs

Note that this code predated the sysfs "wakealarm" mechanism, and
works around several now-fixed bugs in the kernel RTC framework.

Nowadays it would make sense to make this program use only the sysfs
interface to the RTC, using "since_epoch" instead of RTC_RD_TIME and
"wakealarm" instead of the four other ioctls.  That could simplify
the mess involved in timezone handling.
