RIPE Atlas scavenger

Copies measurements from the RIPE Atlas API to a postgres (>=9.4) database and put it in a table called meas in a jsonb field called body.

The id field is a normal serial marked field, hence there is no coordination right now between the id in the jsonb field and the primary key.

Usage of ./atlas_scavenger:

-dbname string
	specify name of the database where the measurements will be stored. (default "atlas-msm")
-host string
	specify hostname of the server where the database is running (default "127.0.0.1")
-number_of_runs uint
	specify the maximum number of separate rest queries (500 measurements per query). (default 4000)
-password string
	specify password to connect to database (required)
-resume
	resume from the last measurement in database.
-start_id uint
	specify starting measurement id from atlas API. (default 1000000)
-username string
	specify username to connect to database (required)
	

Not specifying --resume will destroy the meas table and create it afresh.
