Please unblock package clamav

In keeping with the insanity that is clamav, there is another new clamav
release which both has security fixes and increases the funcitonality level
so that the old clamav will not be able to use all the new virus sigatures.

For these reasons, I think that updating clamav to the new upstream is the
least horrible thing to do.  I'll also be proposing it as an update for
Stable as well (as we've been doing).

There doesn't appear to be a lot of information on exactly what the security
fixes were.  They appear to be related to:

https://bugzilla.clamav.net/show_bug.cgi?id=6804
https://bugzilla.clamav.net/show_bug.cgi?id=6805

Bug #6805, in the text, claims not to apply, but it is mentioned in the
git log for the 0.97 branch, so I'm not sure.

I'll attach the debdiff in a follow-up so this makes it to the release team
list.  I'll attach the full, unexpergated, debdiff and a smaller one that has
the noise removed.

I've only just uploaded this, so you may not see it in the archive yet.
