Check container upgrade

Monitoring plugin to check if containers are upgradable. By default all running container are checked.

Checks are done by running Icinga/Nagios compatible check plugins inside containers. These plugins are listed inside the CHECK_PLUGINS associative array (on top of the file) and by default, the following plugin are declared:

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_apt: for Debian based image, provide by the monitoring-plugins-basic debian package
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_apk: for Alpine based image, see project for install instructions

Note: The first plugin detected as installed will be used.

This script also include a set of cron modes to automatically rebuild and deploy containers image of a docker compose project:

check cron (use --check-mode): check if containers need to be updated and marked then to be rebuilt;
rebuild cron (use --rebuild-mode): rebuild containers marked to be rebuilt;
deploy cron (use --deploy-cron): deploy rebuilt containers.
