[rancid] Email notifications - summary at the top

[Jon Lewis]

I must have added this to ours way back when I installed it.  It's just a 
tiny change in control_rancid adding the diffstat command.  Obviously, 
make sure you have diffstat installed.

# Mail out the diffs (if there are any).
if [ -s $TMP.diff ]; then
     sendmail -t <<EMAIL
To: $mailrcpt
Subject: $subject
Precedence: bulk

`diffstat $TMP.diff`

`cat $TMP.diff`
EMAIL
