[osiris-devel] database archiving options

[Alexei_Roudnev]

Short comment to the PURGE (agree with other things). It is better to
specify NUMBER of databases, which should be stored before PURGING. '0'
means 'No Purge'.

> There will be three flags, initially:
>
> OSI_DB_ARCHIVE
> OSI_DB_PURGE
> OSI_DB_AUTOACCEPT
>
> Existing functionality will just make use of the archive flag, on or
> off.  Upon completion of a scan, the db_flags for the host in question
> will be consulted and the trusted database reset if the autoaccept flag
> is set.  If the purge flag is set, the previous database is deleted.

Not a previous, but -N back (so that we can keep N last databases). It
allows to make a forensic and
rollback actual database, if necessary.
