Move net/rrdtool to databases/rrdtool.
It's an itch which needs to be scratched: net/rrdtool came from
net/mrtg, which was a good location for it. net/mrtg has later
been moved to net-mgmt/mrtg. net/rrdtool is "Round Robin Database
Tools", therefor it's better if it moves to databases/rrdtool.
Same with net/rrdtool10.

Torrus is designed to be the universal data series processing framework.
Although most users deploy Torrus for SNMP monitoring, it might be useful for
data series of any nature. Tobi Oetiker's RRDtool is used for data storage.
* Configuration compiler and validator. It processes the XML configuration
files and saves the configuration into a database.
* View renderer and the web interface. They generate HTML and the graphical
representation of the datasources and provide user authentication and
authorization. All generated output is controlled by the configuration
parameters and templates. The users can easily create their own
presentation of data series.
* SNMP Collector. Modular collector core architecture allows further
extension with new collector and storage types. Any datasource can have
its own polling schedule.
* SNMP Device Discovery Tool. Devdiscover is a new, modular, flexible, and
expandable tool for automatic generation of Torrus configuration files.
New device types and MIBs are easily added as independent Perl modules.
* Threshold monitor. All data, regardless of their type and nature, can be
monitored according to the user-defined rules. The rules can also include
the datasource-specific parameters, e.g. boundary values etc. The
thresholds are specified by RPN expressions.
