Changelog cache
Vuls parses changelogs of updatable packages in the case of a target server is Ubuntu/Debian.
To get the changelog, Vuls issue apt-get changelog for each updatable packages.
Scan speed on Ubuntu/Debian was slow because apt-get changelog is slow.
So I decided to use boltdb for caching changelogs of updatable packages.
botldb: https://github.com/boltdb/bolt
apt-get policy
apt-get policy is a slow operation.
Previously Vuls issues
apt-cache policyfor each updatable package.Now Vuls issues the command only once.
