[Xymon] Tag to make NCV engine ignore status text

[Matt Vander Werf]

Looks like this is formally documented in xymond_rrd(8) man page (and
there's more options to use too):


       Any  lines  in the status message prepended with a "<!-- ncv_skip
-->" will be skipped by the module. This can be used to prevent unneeded
RRD files
       from an existing dataset from being created.

       A line prepended with a "<!-- ncv_skipstart -->" will be ignored,
along with all subsequent lines until a line starting with "<!--
ncv_skipend  -->"
       is found, at which point processing will resume. This can be used to
ignore explanatory or other text with a mostly-ncv message.

       "<!-- ncv_ignore -->" can be used to ignore certain text at the
beginning of a line, up until a closing '</-->' tag on the same line, at
which point
       the line will continue to be processed as usual. Wrapping is not
supported; but skipstart/skipend can be used to handle multiple lines.

       A bare "<!-- ncv_end -->" on its own line will stop further NCV
processing of that message.

       All of these ncv_ terms are case-sensitive. Note that if you have
full control over your NCV output, it is most efficient to have NCV data
near  the
       top of your message and use "<!-- ncv_end -->" once your data is
complete.
