Support scanning remote OS

[KoenDG]

With the merging of #168 there is now local OS scanning. What could be done to add functionality to do remote OS scanning?

• Connect over SSH(or other?)
• Get the required output
• • No install on remote host required
• Generate report on the local machine

This is basically how VULS does it.

Being able to scan a fleet of remote hosts for newly discovered CVEs in existing installs seems like a really useful feature.

That being said, I don't know Golang and don't know the internals of either this project or VULS. And I have no free time to dedicate myself to it.

I'm putting this up as a suggestion. If time nor resources currently exist for this feature, then I suppose the first step would be to park this.

Thank you for your time, and feel free to close and/or remake this request by someone of the team(is there a team?) if the consensus is that's easier to have this idea picked up in earnest that way.
