[rancid] Trailing exclamation mark on Cisco ASA serial numbers

[Hagen, Skye]

This also occurs on FWSM configs. I'll bet it is in this section of rancid,
in the ShowVersion function.

        /^serial number:\s+(.*)$/i &&
            ProcessHistory("COMMENTS","keysort","C1", "!Serial Number: $1")
&&
            next;

Note: No newline is appended.

Thanks,
Skye Hagen
