    rc(8): document how to reload rc's configuration
    
    The fact that rc(8) only reads its configuration once is in the man
    page, but how to trigger a reload is only in the code.
    
    Discovered while trying to make cloud-init disable and stop syslogd.
    
    Thanks to RhodiumToad for providing the words.
