  * Backport changes to fix whois doesn't properly query .hr/.sx/.pe TLDs

    - Add the "+" flag by default to queries to whois.arin.net if the

Bug description:
  SRU Request:

  [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
