[Xymon] Xymon server fqdn

[Japheth Cleaver]

Well, it's wrong until a really vital tmpfs partition fills up on you at 
2am =/

This change is actually in 4.4 (Effectively excluding devtmpfs, but not 
tmpfs), but I didn't want to alter expectations in 4.3 --
https://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/7932/

I could see adding /run/ on some distros to an exclude list that are 
*very* unlikely to fill up, but it's more a matter of cleanliness than 
safety.
