Subject: Remove USEDIRECTISA and associated code

man hwclock implies this option is rarely necessary, and (almost) all
systems Arch supports surely have a /dev/rtc device and load the rtc driver
in the kernel. Even if this is not available, hwclock will fall back to
direct I/O requests anyway.

As a side note, the adjtime cronjob didn't even respect this setting anyway.
