Ensure that epoptes-client is actually booted to ltsp before setting LTSP_FATCLIENT=True

[Alkis Georgopoulos]

Epoptes version: 0.5.3-1

If one installs epoptes-client in a standalone (non-LTSP) PC which for some reason also has the ltsp-client package installed, then that PC is reported to be a fat client in the Epoptes UI, even if it was booted locally.

== SRU ==
[rational]
Epoptes reports regular workstations with ltsp-client installed as fat clients even though they didn't boot from LTSP.

[test case]
1) Install epoptes
2) Install ltsp-client
3) Restart epoptes
4) Start classroom manager on teacher computer

4) should report the machine as a workstation, not a fat client

[regression potential]
The fix just adds a check for /proc/cmdline, the check while not perfect should match 99% of the cases where ltsp-client and epoptes are installed on a non-ltsp machine.
If this still doesn't match, then the client will be reported as a fat client, but overall, the logic can't be any more wrong that it's today.
