I've updated everything in the tree to use #!/sbin/openrc-run. The
/sbin/runscript symlink still remains for now, don't worry. I plan to
add checks in repoman/qa checks in the near future to prevent the
deprecated shebang from creeping back in.

Maintainers, please revbump your packages at your discretion.

Thanks!
