HA Content Versions

Details: This check ensures both the pairs in High Availability (HA) setup are the latest content versions. The content versions checked are Apps and Threat, Antivirus, and URL database.
Both pairs in HA will work at optimal levels if the content versions are the same between the devices. The firewall will take same action on traffic if the devices have same content version, so the expected behavior is same across.
