HOST dependencies

any service depends on host it is running on. I disabled all hosts
checks it by defining check_command = host-is-alive on every host:

define command{
        command_name    host-is-alive
        command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H 127.0.0.1 -w 3000.0,80% -c
5000.0,100% -p 1
        }

Later I learned that there is also check_dummy plugin which better
suited for this.

Best regards
