420.status-network

[Dag-Erling Smørgrav]

In my continuing quest to reduce periodic/daily email to something that
can actually be read and understood at a glance, I've come up with the
following patch, which strips uninteresting interfaces and link-level
data from the output of 420.status-network:

Instead of this:

Network interface status:

I get this:

Network interface status:
Name    Mtu Network       Address              Ipkts Ierrs    Opkts Oerrs  Coll
msk0   1500 10.0.0.0      ds4               10100920     -  9967083     -     -

BTW, I think daily_status_network_usedns should be off by default.
