Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * If a rabbitmq server has no socket descriptors used the code
     triggers a false positive and errors out mistakenly reporting the 
     server in a bad state.

   * Backport the fix from upstream, which is there for more than 3 years
     but hasn't tagged a new release since then.

  [Test Case]

  $ apt install rabbitmq-server nagios-plugins-rabbitmq
  # Enable management http api
  $ rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
  # Now do the same via the nagios plugin (no actual nagios server needed)
  $ cd /usr/lib/nagios/plugins-rabbitmq
  $ ./check_rabbitmq_server --node $(hostname -s) --hostname 127.0.0.1 --port=15672 -u "guest" -p "guest"

  Output bad case:
  RABBITMQ_SERVER CRITICAL - Unable to get values for Sockets | Memory=0.57%;80;90 Process=0.04%;80;90 FD=0.05%;80;90
  Output good case:
  RABBITMQ_SERVER OK - Memory OK (0.57%) Process OK (0.04%) FD OK (0.05%) Sockets OK (0.00%) | Memory=0.57%;80;90 Process=0.04%;80;90 FD=0.05%;80;90 Sockets=0.00%;80;90

  
  [Regression Potential] 

   * The change is fortunately minimal and therefore easy to review.
     The old check by accident caused a value of 0 to become true due to the 
     negation. Actually the check should have been if the value is defined 
     at all. The regression impacts of this change IMHO are low, I can think
     of a scenario where people got used to see all idle servers in this 
     particular broken state which will after the fix be reported "green" 
     now - but I don't think that is something that should stop the SRU.

  [Other Info]
   
   * This is harder to test on Xenial as the default setup there will not 
     have zero socket descriptors, but the problem is the same.

  
  ----

  On a unused rabbitmq machine, the server monitoring reports that it
  was unable to get a value for sockets.

  This is not true, except the value is 0. In upstream this is already
  fixed by replacing !$used by !defined($used) on line 168 in
  /usr/lib/nagios/plugins-rabbitmq/check_rabbitmq_server

  Upstream: https://github.com/nagios-plugins-rabbitmq/nagios-plugins-
  rabbitmq/blob/master/scripts/check_rabbitmq_server#L191
