The function sync_config_with_feed now checks whether a config file has to be synced with the new function should_sync_config_from_path. This will allow a general check if any configs need to be updated later.
The test if a sync is necessary for a report format or port list is moved to a separate function like it was done for configs.
The feed directories for configs, port lists and report formats are now opened in a separate function which can later be reused for a quick feed status check.
Setting the current user is now optional when opening the feed directories for data objects.
Before trying to sync the data objects, check if the feed has any updates first. Also acquire the feed lock for updating the data objects to avoid conflicts with manually triggered updates that are to be added.
The functions sync_configs_with_feed, sync_port_lists_with_feed and sync_report_formats_with_feed will now return postive failure codes if the feed directory or owner does not exist or the NVTs are missing for configs.
The return codes of the functions try_open_configs_feed_dir, try_open_port_lists_feed_dir, try_open_report_formats_feed_dir and the corresponding sync_..._with_feed functions now distinguish between missing feed directory and missing feed owner.
The functions for syncing configs, port lists and report formats now have a `rebuild` parameter to skip the modification time check to force a rebuild.
This option allows forcing a rebuild of the gvmd data via CLI.
Comments for REBUILD_SWITCH and the return values of should_sync_... functions were missing.
The static headers for the sync_[...]_with_feed functions in the manage_sql_[...].c files were missing the rebuild parameter.

What:
The new option allows forcing gvmd to rebuild the gvmd data objects
(configs, port lists and report formats) provided by the feed.
Why:
This addresses AP-1645 and AP-1646
How did you test it:
By running the command with various types given when there was either
no feed activity or while a
--rebuildof the NVTs was active (to test the"Feed locked" error).
