Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 11a1589223 tree-wide: drop license boilerplate
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.

I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.

<title>Description</title>
<para><command>shutdown</command> may be used to halt, power-off
or reboot the machine.</para>
<para>The first argument may be a time string (which is usually
<literal>now</literal>). Optionally, this may be followed by a
wall message to be sent to all logged-in users before going
down.</para>
<para>The time string may either be in the format
<literal>hh:mm</literal> for hour/minutes specifying the time to
execute the shutdown at, specified in 24h clock format.
Alternatively it may be in the syntax <literal>+m</literal>
referring to the specified number of minutes m from now.
<literal>now</literal> is an alias for <literal>+0</literal>, i.e.
for triggering an immediate shutdown. If no time argument is
specified, <literal>+1</literal> is implied.</para>
<para>Note that to specify a wall message you must specify a time
argument, too.</para>
<para>If the time argument is used, 5 minutes before the system
goes down the <filename>/run/nologin</filename> file is created to
ensure that further logins shall not be allowed.</para>
