[rancid] Patch to srancid for improved handling of Dell PowerConnect M-Series switches

[Frank Fegert]

Hello all,

i'd like to propose the attached patch to srancid for an improved hand-
ling of Dell PowerConnect M-Series switch devices. The patched version
was successfully tested against the Dell PowerConnect M6348 and M8024-k
models.
Besides some general output beautification -- additional section headers
and newlines -- it basically deals with the system uptime data in the
"show version" output. It also filters the temperature values from the
sensors in the "show system" output. For output samples of both commands
see below.
Can you please consider the provided patch for inclusion in the next
rancid release?

Thanks & best regards,

    Frank Fegert
