Issues with check_openmanage documentation URLs

[Randal, Phil]

Hmm, Dell have changed the urls yet again...

Seems to be no way to automagically determine the url from the product type - uk doc page for that server is:

http://www.dell.com/support/Manuals/uk/en/ukdhs1/Product/poweredge-r210-2

Thanks very much, Dell :-(

This will also affect check_esxi_hardware.py, which uses the same l;ogic as check_openmanage to produce documantation urls.

Friends,
We love the embedded URL option on the check_openmanage plugin, but it doesn't properly format them for models with trailing revision numbers, like the "PowerEdge R210 II".  The URL produced is of this form:
    http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/per210%20ii/
when it should be:
    http://www.dell.com/support/Manuals/us/en/555/Product/poweredge-r210-2

I would just work up a patch, but it's obvious that this is in an entirely different branch of the Dell website, so before starting, I'm curious just where the original documentation URL schema was derived from?

Cheers,
    -nic
