With this commit a new merlin option, ipc_blocked_hostgroups, is
introduced. This setting expects a comma seperated list of hostgroups.
Any host or service checks defined in this list will be blocked from
execution on the local node.
No re-assignment of the check is done - meaning the check is only done
if merlin would otherwise schedule the check on another node. This
likely will lead to a significant amount of expired checks, similar to
what would happen if a poller with takeover=no is down.
The setting is intended as a safety-net if for some reason your (slim)
pollers are de-registered, and that masters are not supposed/able to
execute checks for specific hostgroups.
