* clients.conf ([DEFAULT]/checker): Update to new default value.

* mandos (Client.start_checker): Bug fix: OSError, not
                                 subprocess.OSError.
  (main): Use "fping -q -- %(host)s" instead of "fping -q --
          %%(host)s" as default value for "checker".  Always redirect
          stdin to be from /dev/null, even if in debug mode.

* mandos-clients.conf.xml (DESCRIPTION): Improved wording and refer to
                                         the EXPANSION section.
  (OPTIONS): Added synopsis and improved wording for "checker",
             "fingerprint", and "secret".  Refer to the RUNTIME
             EXPANSION section for the "checker" option.
  (EXAMPLE): Update to new default value for "checker".

* mandos-keygen (trap): Split lines and add "set +e".
