IPMI issues after upgrade to 2.2.4

[jbecker]

With version 2.2.4 zabbix changed the IPMI reading (ZBX-8188) of sensor data.

Some Dell PowerEdge iDRAC implementations (like oder PowerEdge R815) however did not support this.
While the sdr Data from such sensors are ok, the "sensor" functions returning sensor not present.

You can check this with ipmitool IP:
ipmitool -H A.B.C.D -U user -P secret -L USER -I lanplus sensor get "CPU 1 Temp" shows:

The values from the sdr readings are fine. After the upgrade however zabbix declared these types of sensors as "Not Supported".

I wounder if it is possible to implement an option in zabbix to control if the ipmi_poller is getting its data from "sensor" oder "sdr".
