bugfixes; make reports ease to read

Patch changes:
- fix: failed to execute chkdirs
- fix: incorrectly detect crontab for nobody (at least for dcron)
- improvement: don't include in report
  1. empty files
  2. .packlist files (huge amount of such files in /usr/lib/perl/ make chkrootkit reports nearly unreadable and so useless!)
  3. /usr/lib/nessus/plugins/.desc/ directory
  4. duplicate directories

Actually only questionable change is exclude .packlist files. I think it's better to miss possible malicious files with this name than ignore chkrootkit reports at all because they are huge and unreadable. But perl's .packlist files have well-defined format, so it's ease to check their content if needed (but this may slowdown chkrootkit).

It's been half a year now, can anybody expect an update in the near future?

Was added to the tree. "improvement: don't include in report" was dropped, see my mail for discussion. Fixed.
