Afraid to ping strangers / Can I play with address

This release mainly adds configuration file support in order to override various command line arguments.

Other changes mostly come from the addition of Shellcheck which produced some minor script corrections.

Side notes: It becomes hard to find good Maiden song name alikes, so I'll keep this one... I like it ;)

Full Changelog: v2.5...v2.6

Afraid to Ping Strangers / Fear of the Benchmark

This release fixes the following:

• Ping interval (-r) parameter, which now also accepts floating numbers, or 'auto' in order for -r to fit timeout (-w parameter).
• Ping interval is now removed when timeout already reached
• Code reduction due to merge of checkSite and testSite functions, which also reduces execution time
• New defaults (timeout = 1, interval = auto) for better Smokeping integration

Afraid to Ping Strangers

Minor release that allows linux to make sub second tcp pings:

Option -w now accepts floats on linux
When using -w with floats, time between checks is reduced to -w time
New option -o for statistics
Minor code cleanup
Tested against FreeBSD 11 (csh) and CentOS 7/8 (bash)

Empire of the clouds

This is a small release containing some minor changes:

• bc is no longer required
• better root privileges checks
• possibility to run with sudo (-Z)
• possibility to choose between TCP, UDP and ICMP protocols
• Fix for timeout value not being taken account of (-w)

Release has been tested on CentOS 7 and FreeBSD 11.
