A patch to the service(8) manpage.

If a service, say foo, has overridden restart_cmd in its rc.d/foo file then
this will be effective when called with "service foo restart".

The service(8) command has a -R argument which purports to restart each
service.  However, it actually calls "service foo stop" followed by "service
foo start", rendering the override of restart_cmd ineffective.

This is pretty niche, but can be simply clarified in the manpage.  Patch
attached.
