Theo reminded me that upd(4) usability needs to improve, so before I add
any more sensors I will next be looking into man page updates and/or
improved sensor status (e.g. WARN, CRITICAL) so that you need less
configuration voodoo to get useful behavior out of sensorsd(8).

Let me know if these new sensors should wait, in which case I can cut a
separate diff for the other fixes and build upon that instead.
