Summary: check_by_ssh -H hostname:port

Initial Comment:
It would be really useful to allow:
   check_by_ssh -H hostname:port
rather than having to specify hostname and port in separate parameters
   check_by_ssh -H hostname -p port

The code changes are minimal and can be localised to the process_arguments case statement
check_by_ssh.c line 225:
[begin]
                case 'H': /* host */
                        if (p1=strstr(optarg,":"))
                                *p1=0;  // terminate the host-name
                        host_or_die(optarg);
                        hostname = optarg;
                        if (!p1)
                                break;
                        optarg=p1+1; // Set port number as next param and
                        // fall through to process the port...
                case 'p': /* port number */
[end]
