SUMMARY

Don't blacklist any sensors, even if they are already handled by other plugins:
- user who wants to add some sensor from lmsensors will not be able to find it System Monitor because it's blacklisted (it's the same with me)
- some plugins duplicate information from the sensors (like coretemp: I have 4 physical cores, but the System Monitor shows 8 temperature sensors for each virtual core, which looks a bit strange)
- some information from the sensor is missing (like coretemp: package temperature is missing)
- as it appears from the previous point, after updating the firmware, some new information may appear that will not be available in the System Monitor

That will result in a tonne more bugs
