[rancid] Support for Coriant Groove - has been discussed on-list before

[Chris Wopat]

Digging up an old question from a few months ago - anyone have code to
share for Coriant Groove G30 support? It's as though you just have to
change `exit` to `exit -f` and adjust a few commands, but unsure the
cleanest way to achieve this.

Cheers,
Chris
