make reboot and halt aliases for shutdown -r now and shutdown -h now

I created a patch to show how a change could potentially look if there is ever
consensus to move ahead. I only tested it lightly.

A few notes:
- I kept the names of the _PATH_REBOOT and _PATH_HALT in include/paths.h
despite them referring to fastboot and fasthalt as I wasn't sure who else was
using them
- I renamed reboot.{c,8} to fastboot.{c,8} but left the directory as reboot
- I wasn't sure what to do with the history section of the fastboot.8 file. It
still talks about the history of reboot
- Since they are now derived from shutdown, the permissions and group ownership
of reboot and halt change. It was -r-xr-xr-x root wheel and is now -r-sr-xr--
root operator
