Change: Don't perform alive tests if "consider alive" method is selected

When more than one alive test method is selected, boreas check for each one until the host is alive. This will be done also even if the "consider alive" methods is selected. This patch improves boreas to not run other selected alive methods if "consider alive" method is set
