patch file for shell script and man page

Pretty trivial patch to give service(8) and associated manpage a "-q (quiet)" option, useful when calling from cron.

Note that this specifically only hits when calling "restart" and other commands, but will not quiet an error like service not existing (cron should still make noise on that, I'd think).

hi Dan,

consider submitting this via github, as per our recent update to the contributions guideline: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/contributing/#contrib-general

maybe remotely related: one of our developers recently abandoned a patch that would quiet down failures, https://reviews.freebsd.org/D38295

one feedback i can already give you is that the man page will need a .Dd update
