[Xymon] ftps tests

[Galen Johnson]

It would be easy to write a script to capture this but it would be better if Xymon were able to do this since it already manages these basic services through explicit ssl.  I poked a bit in the code but I don't see where it's really trying to manage this.  While I am not strong in the ways of C, I'd be willing to see if it's within my limited capabilities to extend what is already there.  It's essentially the same test just with different options since xymonnet is already using the openssl libs (I'm sure I'm oversimplifying).

We pull the cert from our ftps servers with an EXT script we created
back in Big Brother days (before cert expiration checking was native in
bb/xymonnet). Our script uses openssl s_client and option-in "-starttls
ftp" when we ask for certs from a predefined list of ports.
