[rancid] Dell EMC OS10 switch

[Howard Jones]

I made a slightly-tweaked version of the Force10 type for our Dell 
S3048-ON switches.

In etc/rancid.types.conf:

dell10;script;dell10rancid
dell10;login;clogin

And then these are the differences from f10rancid:

A few commands don't exist - removed those. The switch likes to beep 
(send ctrl-G) in responses, so I strip control chars out. It also 
doesn't have 'end' at the end of the config, so the default 'saw all 
commands' stuff didn't work.

Patch is for RANCID 3.7, but hopefully the gist is clear.
