GVM Libraries v1.0+beta1

This is the first beta release of the gvm-libs module 1.0 for the Greenbone
Vulnerability Management (GVM) framework.

It derives from the former openvas-libraries module. Any elements of the
old module that were used by OpenVAS Scanner only, were moved into the
module openvas-scanner. Also the protocol OMP was renamed to GMP.

Apart from this, the module covers a number of significant advances
and clean-ups compared to the previous openvas-libraries module.

Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release:
Hani Benhabiles, Francesco Colista, Albrecht Dress, Christian Fischer, Matt
Mundell, Juan Jose Nicola, Timo Pollmeier, Bjoern Ricks, Jan-Oliver Wagner
and Michael Wiegand.

Main changes compared to openvas-libraries 9.0:

• Many files have been moved to this new module from openvas-libraries
  and other files have been renamed to match the new terminology (libgvm_*).
  Also the default installation paths switched from "openvas" to "gvm"
  and thus any include directive needs to be adapted in depdending source codes.

  (Greenbone Management Protocol), including library names, include files
  and data types.
