+ FIXES
+ check_snmp now attempts to convert string responses into a double value. If the full string is a value,
+ check_snmp will consider it a numeric value and thus apply threshold checks and return performance data.
+ This reverts back to 1.4.14 behaviour with strings

ENHANCEMENTS
New check_ntp_peer -m and -n options to check the number of usable time sources ("truechimers")
