Problem: in powerman.dev(5) the ranged scripts are typoed as "range". Correct the typoes.
Problem: Some text describing the selection of the status_all vs status scripts is invalid. Simply remove the offending text.
Problem: in the near future we would like to create a PlugList from a List of Plugs. It is currently inconvenient to create such a list given the current PlugList API. Add a function pluglist_copy_from_list() function to create a PlugList from a List of Plugs.
Problem: "ranged" version of scripts (on_ranged, off_ranged, etc.) were supported a long time ago. A need was not there for a status_ranged because it was never needed. However, in the future there will be scenarios where it may be needed. Support a "status_ranged" script.
Problem: ipmipower supports passing ranged hosts to check power status, but it is not utilized. Use the status_range script over the status_all script in ipmipower.dev.
Problem: The new status_ranged script is not documented. Add documentation in powerman.dev(5)

OK to sit on this until we get everything else done and then decide if it's needed? My feeling is it probably is not needed, and we should not further convolute device "API" if there's not a good reason. |

sounds good. I'll peel off some of the cleanup commits into #150 |

per discussion in #128, I was going to punt on this till later, but my mini-hack prototype ended up working. I began to understand the code better, so figured ... why not.
