hwclock: make RTC default to UTC time
If /etc/adjtime doesn't specify UTC or LOCAL, rtcwake defaults to UTC and hwclock defaults to LOCAL. Switch hwclock to meet the behaviour of rtcwake (default=UTC), also matching the kernel's CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS behaviour. The user impact of this change should be minimal, as anyone who has run "hwclock --systohc" before will have their UTC/LOCAL choice already recorded in /etc/adjtime.
