Fix several documentation bugs (including a typo fix from schwarze@).
Missing documentation about the naming policy for rc scripts. Document rcexec. Remove daemon_shell, it's proved useless at best and can introduce issues we don't want to deal with. prodded by, discussed with and ok espie@ ok robert@ miod@
