544a7d269e Create rsync_failure_codes option.
User may optionally create a file rsync_failure_codes with a
newline-separated list of rsync return codes that are to be
regarded as complete failure.

If rsync exits with such a code, then the backup will be marked
for deletion during the next ccollect run (if delete_incomplete).

I added documentation for this feature in doc/ccollect.text

In my experience (yours may differ), two rsync exit codes that
belong in this file are 12 and 255.  I have seen 12 result from
ssh errors and 255 result from a kernel module conflict.  In both
cases, the resulting backups were empty.  Without the
rsync_failure_codes option, such errors cause good backups to be
deleted, as per c_interval, leaving behind the new empty backups.

In the long run, we may want a different and more comprehensive
method for analyzing rsync errors.  In the short run, I find this
option necessary.

142fd24fc8 Add ARM to GNU/Linux architecture list
I run ccollect nightly on a Thecus N2100 running Debian-ARM.

The Linksys NSLU2 also runs an ARM processor and I have lightly tested
ccollect on that under SlugOS.
