#513: 'halt' and 'poweroff' could do the same thing

 The halt command currently (as of build185) halts the OS, but does not
 power down the machine.  I don't see any reason for it not to actually do
 the same thing that 'poweroff' does.  I've had machines in the past that,
 if the software was capable of powering the system down, 'halt' would do
 just that.

 (Yes, I'm aware that 'halt -p' does that; the easiest thing to do would be
 to alias halt='halt -p' in a shell rc script)
