Document RB_TIMEBAD.

RB_DFLTROOT, RB_INITNAME, and RD_RDONLY are unimplemented or the default; 
documenting them is pointless and just makes this page harder to read.


I'm inclined to suggest deleting from sys/reboot.h the #defines for the 
unused options, including the three above as well as RB_SERCONS and 
RB_MINIROOT.  Opinions?
