[Nut-upsuser] Wishlist: Absorb apcupsd features and device support that may be still missing in NUT

[Bill Gee]

Woot!  I like it, and I hope the effort works.  Thanks for seeing the 
need and taking a stab at Doing Something.

I have several VERY old APC devices - so old they use serial ports for 
monitoring.  I would love to get them off apcupsd, but nothing else will 
work.  They support fairly modern Linux systems - Fedora 43 and Alma 9.
