Summary: check_mailq.pl ignores separate submission queue

Initial Comment:
check_mailq.pl ignores the separate submission queue used in (modern?) sendmail implementations.

For the queue output below with one message in the submission queue and no messages in the transport queue, check_mailq.pl reports zero messages in the queue because the request count from the last queue always overwrites previous queues. If the sendmail MTA isn't running or has become wedged, messages will sit in the submission queue forever.

The attached patch fixes this in a backwards compatible way (i.e., it shouldn't break any of the currently supported formats).
