Improve parsing of ping6(1) output

The ping6(1) implementation provided by Debian's iputils-ping package
may produce output such as the following:

| 3 packets transmitted, 0 received, +3 errors, 100% packet loss, time 2009ms

There's a corresponding pattern in check_ping.c:458:

| "%*d packets transmitted, %*d received, +%*d errors, %d%% packet loss"

Without this fix, the pattern in check_ping.c:456 matched first (as
sscanf(3) interprets "+3" as a match for "%d"):

| "%*d packets transmitted, %*d received, %d%% loss, time"
