Make it possible to disable the database update completely by using
a negative update interval CVE_DB_UPDATE_INTERVAL.
Disabling the update is useful when running multiple parallel builds
when we want to have a control on the database version. This allows
coherent cve-check results without an database update for only
some of the builds.
