This changes the behavior of services processing cached data of the Linux, AIX, Solaris, FreeBSD and OpenWrt agent.

Previous to this werk, a service would go to UNKNOWN if the execution of a cached section failed, reporting "Missing data" or "Item not found in monitoring data". Those services now go stale, and only go to UNKNOWN after tripple the time of the caching intervall passed.
