Patch with new option to not skip dead hosts

MRTG 2.9.28 has a behaviour which currently makes it unsuitable for our
purposes; it skips hosts when it has problems getting data for one of
the interfaces. This happens in two cases for us:

1. Seems to be an IOS/MRTG interop issue that makes mrtg unable to get
the interface data when ifref=descr on a Cisco 10000. I'll investigate
this further and either submit a bugreport to Cisco or a patch for mrtg.
2. When an interface has been torn down. This happens automatically and
we don't want to do an entire cfgmaker run of all 6000 interfaces each
time.

This patch introduces a new option for mrtg.cfg: DontSkipDead, which can
be enabled to let mrtg do further processing of a router even though a
single interface fails.
