Patch to malware.c to add f-protd-support

Attached is a patch I wrote for my company to let exiscan support the f-protd
virus-scanner. It is configured like this:

av_scanner = f-protd:localhost 10200-10204:-archive:-dumb:-noheur

You can give as many options as you like to it which will all be passed to the
scan. f-protd runs on a range of ports and the ports rotate whenever the
virus-database gets updated. 10200-10204 is the default, that's why the options
look a bit weird. I couldn't think of a better way to support the dynamic
options you can pass to the scan-engine, so forgive me if this approach is not
very "eximish" :o) I tested this on Linux and FreeBSD, but it should work on
all POSIX-compliant OSes.
Hope this helps to improve this wonderful software :o)

By the way: how to label this? It's neither a bug, nor a wishlist, nor
security. Hope "bug" is okay.
