Previously, the validity of agent data for discovery and HW/SW inventory checks was 2 minutes. When checking is performed with a longer interval, the discovery would re-trigger fetching of the agent data.

In some checks this leads to data loss, because the checking fetches the data again and the data fetched by the discovery is lost.

The cache interval for discovery and HW/SW inventory checks is now 1.5 * checking interval.
