SCA: Implement Timeout and Scheduling Logic

[TomasTurina]

Description

This task involves implementing support for the scan_on_start and interval settings, applying timeouts to scans, and ensuring graceful stopping behavior. The scheduling logic must be efficient and allow configurable scan intervals.

Tasks

1. Research & Design

   • Define scheduling mechanism and timeout rules.
   • Establish logic for scan_on_start behavior.

2. Development

   • Implement interval-based scheduling.
   • Apply timeouts for scans and individual checks.
   • Ensure proper handling of scan interruptions.

3. Unit Testing

   • Validate scheduled scan execution.
   • Ensure correct application of timeouts and graceful stops.

4. Documentation

   • Document scheduling configuration and timeout rules.
   • Provide examples of scan execution scenarios.

Definition of Done

• Scheduling mechanism and timeout logic are implemented.
• Unit tests validate scan scheduling and interruption handling.
• Documentation is complete and reviewed.

I started working on the issue, adding the logic to use the class variables that define the scan interval and the execution of a scan at startup.

I continued with the development, ran some tests, but I'm having trouble applying the rebase correctly and compiling successfully. It might be an issue with the compiler version and recently introduced changes.
