[collectd] Versions 4.5.3 and 4.6.1 available.

[Florian Forster]

Hi everybody,

I've just packed and uploaded new patch releases for collectd.

 * Version 4.5.3 fixes some bugs in the 4.5 line that have been sitting
   around in the Git repository for a while.

 * Version 4.6.1 fixes some bugs in new features of the 4.6 line, mostly
   in the new BIND plugin. Also Sebastian has found some outdated
   information in the documentation and has fixed this.

Both versions include a fix for the off-by-one error reported by Peter
earlier this week, which can lead to a segmentation fault. I think it'd
be hard to exploit, but users of this plugin are advised to upgrade soon
nonetheless.

The relevant parts of the ChangeLog file are attached below.

Best regards,
-octo
