[Simh] Shutdown of Vax from Linux shutdown script

[David Holland]

Not having looked at the SIMH clock code, particularly closely..

Theoretically, yes, you can run the guest OS's, and the host OS's clock
separately. (Presuming you don't have something like NTP running in in the
guest.)  However, _usually_, you want to run to run the opposite way, w/
your guest, and your host clocks synchronized.

Otherwise, when you take down your host for an hour to replace a system
board, or some other maintenance, your guest is now an hour behind.
