[Xymon] ::1 suffixes in GRAPHS setting in xymonserver.cfg

[Jeremy Laidman]

This has to do with how many data sources appear on each multi-line
graph on the trends page.  In the example of if_load, you don't want
all of your NIC data sources to appear on the one graph, and so the
"::1" says to put only one on each graph.

There's a bit of a description on this in the xymonserver.cfg file.
But the ultimate documentation is the source code, specifically
xymonrrd.c.  This indicates that the default lines per graph is 5.
Also, between the two colons you can define "xymonpartname", but I
can't work out where or how this is used.
