login: use open(2) rather then access(2) for $HOME/.hushlogin
As an NFS client with home directories on mounted NFS share - If the
NFS server exports the share with default root squashed, login cannot
access the filesystem to check for the existence of .hushlogin file.
It seems better to use open(2) rather than access(2).

hwclock: add --systz option to set system clock from itself
Since the system clock time is already set from the hardware clock by the
kernel (when compiled with CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS), there's no particular need to
read the hardware clock again.
This option sets the system clock using itself as a reference if the
hardware clock was in local time. The resulting system clock time
is in UTC, with the kernel timezone set to the difference.
