New knob for ignoring readonly fss in 340.noid and 310.locate?

[Jason Hellenthal]

Andre,

Give this a shot.

http://patches.jhell.googlecode.com/hg/340.noid.patch

Apply with ( patch -p1 -E < /path/to/340.noid.patch )

Then either copy the resulting script to where it needs to go and remove
the old 340.noid or run one of mergemaster or etcupdate.

This effectively pushes it to periodic/security/310.chknoid which makes
a lot more sense than beeing in weekly as a non-security measure.

Introduces:
daily_status_security_chknoid_enable="YES"
daily_status_security_chknoid_dirs=""

By default it populates its directory list with zfs,ufs mountpoints and
will not cross mountpoints as per '-x' options to find(1).
