Bug#755722: systemd must sync systemclock to RTC on shutdown

[Martin Pitt]

Hello all,

For jessie+1/experimental onward, we'll fix this properly by enabling
timesyncd by default. It won't start if ntp or similar are installed.
This will make sure that the hw clock will be updated often enough,
and we won't poke false data into it:

This is a new feature though, and as such most probably not
appropriate for jessie at this point.

For master (i. e. testing/jessie), I prepared and tested the attached
patch. I'm still kind of hesitant to apply it as it's solving the
problem in a rather questionable, insufficient, and conceptually wrong
way. However, with that it would stay "bug compatible" with sysvinit
in jessie.

Martin
