Commit Message

Marta Rybczynska May 2, 2022, 2:25 p.m. UTC 
Add a new variable CVE_DB_UPDATE_INTERVAL allowing the user to set
the database update interval.
 - a positive value sets an interval (in seconds)
 - a zero ("0") forces the database update

Signed-off-by: Marta Rybczynska <marta.rybczynska@huawei.com>

Changes from v1:
- allow to set the interval, not only force the update
