[Impact]
Fixes issues using whois with .hr/.sx/.pe TLDs. In addition updates query format for IPs when accessing ARIN.

[Development Fix]
These issues were fixed in 5.0.14 of whois.

[Stable Fix]
Since most of the fixes are covered in updating from 5.0.11 to 5.0.14, a backport of these version provides all fixes.

[Test Case]
1) whois google.hr (works on precise, not on oneiric)
2) whois registry.sx google.com.pe
3) whois 74.125.113.102
   if we use this command in precise we see that whois adds "n +" to the query, while
   in oneiric it doesn't add that.

[Regression Potential]
Most of the changes are fairly minimal, although any changes to mkpasswd should be investigated.

Problem Description:
whois in oneiric can't query .hr/.sx/.pe TLDs. In addition the query format for ARIN is different than in precise.

Version affected:
Current Oneiric Version: 5.0.11ubuntu2
