In order to check e.g. DB2 log files, we required check_logfiles to check for patterns in log-messages which span multiple lines.
The changes in this pull request introduce two options to check_logfiles searches:
multiline: if this is on, scanning of a log file will change so that multiple lines are read before the rest of the scan logic is executed. Lines read are identified by a pattern which must be given in the multilinestartpattern options, described below.
multilinestartpattern: this is a pattern, identifying how a log line starts in multi-line logs. In a DB2 diag-log file this would always be a date/time combination. The scan method then takes the first line which matches this pattern and concatenates each following line as long as it does NOT match this pattern.
