Few pending handbook updates

Hi guys,

In bug #369841 [1] I have a set of updates to the handbook ready in a single
patch. The patch does include quite a few changes based on end-user feedback
received earlier. If you'd rather see it as separate patches, just yell.

If okay, i'll focus on the bugs associated with the openrc/baselayout-2
tracker [2] so that we can get this openrc/baselayout-2 over with ;-)

To be honest, the bugs that are linked to the tracker do not seem to be
fully (or even in large part) about documentation. Only the bug regarding
the restart function in the init scripts [1] was a clear one. Inside the
tracker [2] there is mention of softlevel= to be replaced by rc_runlevel=.
The "patch" here is obvious, but can someone please confirm that this is
indeed necessary (I never used softlevel...)?

In other news, I also provided a patch for the EVMS stuff [3].

Added bug (and patch) #376087 [1] which fixes
- usage of hostname (lowercase) variable in /etc/conf.d/hostname
- usage of regular variables instead of bash-style arrays in /etc/conf.d/net

Added this as dependency of the OpenRC tracker (#213988).

Wkr,
Sven Vermeulen
