Disable check-host-alive for certain hosts

[Mike Simkins]

Change the check_command for the host to use an SSH check.

You can use any check command to see if a host is alive, not just
check-host-alive

Our current check implementation is to ensure that the SSH daemon runs on the Firewalls. When the SSH daemon does not respond for whatever reason, check-host-alive kicks in and that results in a Host down alert (since the Firewalls does not respond on ICMP).
