Improves support for both 'smart' (those providing sensor status) and
'old-style' sensors.
Due to re-design, the following improvements are now present and many
flaws are now gone:
== for smart sensors ==
* automatically monitor all sensors that provide status by themselves,
with the possibility to ignore certain individual sensors or sensors
of certain type (appropriate template for sensorsd.conf is included)
* report actual sensor status as provided by the driver. Previously,
WARN, CRITICAL and UNKNOWN statuses were considered the same, but
now they are different and will be reported separately. This also
improves readability of the log-files and consistency with sysctl
output.
* ability to ignore status provided by the driver with the 'istatus'
keyword ("ignore automatic status" or "I set the status"), with the
possibility to set your own settings for acceptable limits.
Previously, it was not possible to set any kind of user limits for
those sensors that had their own status facilities.
== for old-style sensors ==
* previously, lm(4)-style fans that were flagged SENSOR_FINVALID during
sensorsd startup were completely ignored, but now their invalid status
is appropriately reported, and they are monitored again when they come
out of their invalid mode
* previously, a sensor that had an empty entry in the configuration file
was reported to be "within limits", but now it will not be monitored
at all (unless, of cause, it provides its own status)
As a bonus, sensorsd syslog entries should now be shorter, and the
majority of them will fit on one line on 80-column terminals.

instead of kind-of manual copyin/out. increases accuracy in server mode.
collecting dust in my tree for some time, result of a conversation with
somebody i really want to give credit to, but I can't find the mails now :(

man(1) searches, as well as from the numerical sections list, as they do
not exist
- remove the {contrib,new,old} sections, as they point to directories
that do not exist
- make the X11 section an alias for the X11R6 section (instead of
pointing to a non-existent directory)
ok millert
do not have more than one dns request outstanding per peer. resolves
slow recovery when resolving fails initially, without clogging the
pipe with lots of dns requests; tested by Jason George; ok deraadt@
in /etc/fstab instead of using some weird homegrown scripts.
No support for boot time mounting yet, so "noauto" is still needed.

improves sensor timekeeping significantly.
Before this patch my test system's frequency adjustment would range
between -350 and +250, with timedelta rarely getting close to 0. After,
frequency adjustmens is on the order of +/- 0.05ppm, with time +/- a
few microseconds away from 0
