[Xymon] filesystem check with multiple disk monitors

[Jeremy Laidman]

Looks good.  Also this: http://www.xymonton.org/monitors:fs-test

This dynamically creates and removes "fs_<partition>" test dots for the
various filesystems (eg "fs_root", "fs_home", "fs_usr").  Long names are
converted to index numbers such as "fs_3" for the third filesystem listed.
 Each dot can be separately disabled or alerted as desired.  Typically runs
on the Xymon server and automatically gets what it needs by querying the
server via xymon calls, so no configuration required apart from tasks.cfg.
