[collectd] 3.10.1 - proposed patch to extend sensors plugin

[Luboš Staněk]

Hi Florian
I have found one strange error so the patch is updated.
The included patch is for immediate use for others. The git patch will
follow in another message.

I made a change to collection.cgi though.
I think that changed colors better differentiate sensor types.

I thought that if we change filenames we could change the DS'es.
I do not think that "value" describes the temperature and rpm well.
But for the smooth inclusion I have submited.

It is in the next message with git diff.

This is the reason I designed it this way.
