[rancid] Fortigate additional tweaks and device filters

[Nick Nauwelaerts]

i guess the fortinet module could use some polishing. it does a great job for getting a complete running config backup. but other information could certainly be welcome to.

perhaps i'll have a look at converting it to a library later on, then you can just comment out the modules you have no interest in. but that will have to wait until i get aerohive hiveos polished a bit.

it was intended for stuff that oscillated but is still desirable (by some).
so, seems to fit the application, perhaps for the other similar filters.
again, i dont know the platform, so I need input.
