[Xymon] Blocking unwanted agents reporting

[Jeremy Laidman]

It's worth noting that --status-senders limits what IP addresses can send
updates on behalf of other IP addresses.  It does not stop hosts from
sending updates from their own IP address, even if not listed in
--status-senders.  So I could just set --status-senders=127.0.0.1 and it
should not stop me getting updates from any devices.
