Summary: check_ifstatus enhancement, use snmpLocIfDescr or snmpIfDesc

Initial Comment:
This patch enhances the default behavior of 
check_ifstatus as follows.

Some devices do not support the snmpLocIfDescr OID 
while most Cisco devices do. snmpLocIfDescr contains 
the description of the interface on Cisco devices but will 
result in errors if run on some non-cisco devices.

The attached patch checks for the presence of 
snmpLocIfDescr. If found it will use this variable giving 
more information about which port is down. If 
snmpLocIfDescr is not found on the device the script 
reverts back to snmpIfDescr.

This patch also includes some cosmetic cleanup such 
as replacing the <BR> breaks at the end of lines with 
commas.
