add: support IPv6 host discovery alive test for openvasd#1081
Merged
Conversation
Add host_discovery_ipv6 to the openvasd alive test methods and serialize it into the scan config JSON. The alive test methods are grouped in a struct, and host_discovery_ipv6 is handled as exclusive: if selected, all other alive test methods are ignored. Add unit tests for normal alive test serialization and the IPv6 host discovery priority behavior.
