[c-nsp] IOS, IOS-XR and RANCID

Hi.

Instead of trying to fix the existing IOS module, I created a new one
specific for IOS XR. The patch is avaliable through the RANCID
mailinglist, see:
http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2009-November/004385.html

Features in this module are:
* Auto-enabled is default on XR devices (no more tweaking of the .clogin file)
* Time-stamps are disabled before extracting data (times-stamps are
default on since 3.8)
* Commands are run both from user and admin modes
