NUT developers,

The NUT protocol suppports enumerating UPSes, but this functionality
is not currently in upsc. Does anyone have any objections to adding a
"-l" option or similar to fetch this list via upsc?

We could also emulate "finger" syntax, and use "upsc @hostname" for to
list UPSes, but that syntax would be more appropriate for listing all
variables from all UPSes (not listing only the names of the UPSes).
