[PATCH] Correct section number for shutdown and clarify what -e does in manpage

[PATCH] Correct section number for shutdown and clarify what -e does in manpage

[Khalid Aziz]

Another patch that I have been carrying in debian kexec-tools package. 
It corrects the section number for shutdown in the man page. This
patch also adds little more descriptive note for the -e option to
clarify that this does not do an orderly shutdown.

Please apply.
