Set supervisor SW version as chassis SW version on Cisco devices

[Morten Brekkevold]

In a modular Cisco device, the chassis device will have a serial number, but typically has no software. The software is run in the supervisor module. However, getting an overview of the software versions on Cisco devices from the main IP Device listing is not possible today, since the software versions listed will be that of the chassis.

That software version will either be a blank field, or an old version number from before NAV 3.6 was installed, as getDeviceData would perform some magic and link the netbox and the supervisor module to the same device (i.e. the same serial number, which is ridiculuous).

A workaround could be to add an ipdevpoll plugin that sets the chassis SW-version based on the Supervisor's SW-version if no chassis SW-version was found on a Cisco device during the same collector job.

Plugin added here: http://metanav.uninett.no/hg/series/3.9.x/rev/2660c06f969d
NOTE: It is not enabled by default yet.

just changed ipdevpoll.conf to include the plugin by default in 3.9.x,
