[rancid] RANCID pulls hourly diff off NEXUS 5500 despite no changes

[Lee]

Make sure the device type in router.db is cisco-nx
(  ie:   deviceName:cisco-nx:up )

nxrancid has a line (well... the 2.3.6 version has a line, I haven't
upgraded yet)
    /^!Time: /              && next; # kill this junk
in sub WriteTerm to ignore lines that start with "!Time: "

Regards,
Lee
