Server ident shouldn't be shown in the STAT response

A client connected to ftpd sending a STAT command will receive the
following response:

211-Python FTP server library (pyftpdlib) 0.2.0 status:
  Connected to: 127.0.0.1:21
  Logged in as: anonymous
  TYPE: ASCII; STRUcture: File; MODE: Stream
  Data connection closed.
211 End of status.

The current pyftpdlib implementation provides no easy way to modify the
server ident ("pyftpdlib 0.2.0" in this case) provided with STAT response.
It would be good adding a new global variable for users who want to modify it.

I rethought: a global variable for such a thing is somehow wasted.
I noticed that a lot of ftp servers return their hostname where we currently provide
the server-ident but I'd personally dislike doing the same since the user couldn't
want to show that information.

I guess that returning a generic "FTP server status" response would be more
convenient, imho.
