Dumptype definition changes

Apart for specifying auth field in dumptype definition, it might be required to specified client_username and amandad_path fields. If the backup user name is different on the Amanda client, the user name is specified as client_username. If the location of amandad binary is different on the Amanda client, the location is specified as amandad_path field value.

For example:

define dumptype rsh_example {
         ...
         auth "rsh"
         client_username "amandabackup"
         amandad_path "/usr/lib/exec/amandad"
         ...
}
