[Nut-upsuser] New UPS Support: Eaton 5S 1000

[Ken Marsh]

I've used NUT successfully for monitoring many different brands of UPS, but
this one has me stumped. It has the same manufacturer ID and Product ID as
older supported MGE-type Eaton UPS's, but has trouble talking. I tried
Ubuntu's repo NUT, and it logs a Connecting to UPS message every few
seconds forever, but never really succeeds (or says it fails). Different
failure mode after building latest NUT d/l, as shown below. I have a udev
rule in place, restarted udev and have removed/replaced the USB cable.

I'll try to lay out all the info here up front. If this requires more data
for development, I'll do my best to provide it.
