What:
Add min_free_mem and max_sysload scanner only options.
Why:
This patch avoid openvas to launch plugins when the sysload is too high or the available memory to low. Limits are set in the openvas.conf config file
How:
Set the option in openvas.conf file. To test, set the values to something close to the current system. Start the scan. Once the scanner is running, just start a VM, or perform some heavy task in your system. Check that no new plugins are launched.
