Details:

OEM-SEL entries may have types from 0xC0 through 0xFF, but the ipmi-sel
program just output "OEM defined", not differentiating between the different
potential OEM-defined record types.

This patch displays the actual 'record type' value for OEM-defined SEL
entries. This allows parsers to differentiate between OEM type 0xE0 and 0xE1
for example and interpet the OEM-defined entry data accordingly.

Example ipmi-sel output from before the patch:

3  | N/A         | N/A      | N/A             | N/A                         |
OEM defined = DEh CEh 3Ch 52h 01h 00h 00h 39h 00h 00h 04h 05h 00h

Example ipmi-sel output from after the patch:

3  | N/A         | N/A      | N/A             | N/A                         |
OEM E4h defined = DEh CEh 3Ch 52h 01h 00h 00h 39h 00h 00h 04h 05h 00h

If you prefer to put the record-type in parenthesis or after the word
"defined", that would be fine too, but tools which parse OEM-defined entries
the output of ipmi-sel will need to know the exact record type value.
