Subject: [PATCH] scripts: add function needed_var_in_array to
 check_site_lib.lua

The function need_var_in_array(varname, array, required) checks weather a value of a variable (specified by its name) is included in an array.
If the variable is a table or array, the function checks the value of each element against the given array.
