[collectd] Versions 4.7.4 and 4.8.1 available.

[Florian Forster]

Hi everybody,

new patch releases of collectd have been created. The changes include a
rare but nasty race condition in the UnixSock plugin, which could lead
to data being lost or being written to a wrong file descriptor. Anybody
using the UnixSock plugin is advised to upgrade.

  * Build system: Issues when building the iptables plugin have been
    fixed.
  * exec plugin: Clear the signal block mask before calling exec(2).

    issues on some platforms.

    Andrés J. Díaz for the patch.
  * unixsock plugin: Fix a (well hidden) race condition related to file
    descriptor handling.
