[Bug 1556624] [NEW] mmanon: does not work when IP starts with 9 or when IP is not followed by space or colon

[Nico]

Public bug reported:

The mmanon plugin as included in Ubuntu 14.04 trusty (package version
7.4.4-1ubuntu2.6) does not always work correctly. There are two notable
conditions in which the plugin does not behave as expected:

a) an IP address starts with '9'. For details see the upstream bug
report: <http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=529>. The bug is
fixed in this commit:
<https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/commit/09e4d853604aaa71e7b364e598bf1f1c88b5270d>

b) an IP address is followed by a character that is not a space (" ") or
a colon (":"). This for example breaks mmanon functionality for postfix,
where IP addresses are usually followed by the "]" character. This can
be fixed by merging this commit:
