my patch

I added two parameters to spamd_address syntax:

1. weight (load balancing). All requests to spamd-servers will
   be distributed as 3:5 in the following example:
   spamd_address = 127.0.0.1 783 weight=3 : \
                   10.0.0.1 783 weight=5
   default value for weight is "1"

2. time. Describes local time, when exim must use specific spamd-server.
   example:
   spamd_address = 10.0.1.1 783 time=08.00.00-19.45.00 : \
                   10.0.1.2 783 time=19.40-23.00 : \
                   10.0.1.3 783
   It can be useful somewere (in my case, for example)
   default value - 00.00.00-24.00.00

parameters can be combined:
spamd_address = 127.0.0.1 783 weight=2 time=06.00-24.00 : \
                10.0.0.1 783 weight=3 : \
                10.0.0.2 783 weight=3

I hope, that this patch will be accepted in the following version.
I test it for 2 weeks on our servers.
