tweaked the default rc.conf a bit
Many env vars in rc.conf can stay unset in most cases, make this clear by keeping them empty by default and recommend keeping them like that if possible. Signed-off-by: Tom Gundersen <teg@jklm.no>

-*LOCALE*::
- This sets your system language, which will be used by all i18n-friendly applications and utilities.
- See `locale -a` (or locale.gen) for available options. LANG in /etc/locale.conf takes precedence.
- Default: "en_US.UTF-8"

-*DAEMON_LOCALE*::
- If set to 'yes', use $LOCALE as the locale during daemon startup and during the boot process.
- If set to 'no', the C locale is used.
- Default: "no"
+*TIMEZONE*::
+ Specifies your time zone. Possible time zones are the relative path to a zoneinfo file starting
+ from the directory /usr/share/zoneinfo. For example, a German timezone would be Europe/Berlin,
+ which refers to the file /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin.
+ Note: if unset, the value in /etc/localtime is used unchanged

*HARDWARECLOCK*::
How to interpret/update the hardware clock. (used by hwclock)
Options:
- - "": fall back to the value in /var/lib/hwclock/adjfile.
- - "UTC": most robust, allows operating systems to abstract local time and ease DST. (recommended)
+ - empty: fall back to the value in /var/lib/hwclock/adjfile, which defaults to UTC. (recommended)
+ - "UTC": most robust, allows operating systems to abstract local time and ease DST.
- "localtime": apply timezone (and DST) in hardwareclock: discouraged.
Choose this if you dualboot with an OS which cannot handle UTC BIOS times correctly, like Windows.
- any other value will result in the hardware clock being left untouched (useful for virtualization)
- Default: "UTC"
