Removed the log-errors option from the code, by treating it as if it was always true. This was done for the action item of o Remove Nmap's --log-errors feature and make its behavior the default. I also updated the docs/refguide.xml to reflect this change. I have not yet compiled the Dockbook.xml however.

<para>Warnings and errors printed by Nmap usually go only to
the screen (interactive output), leaving any normal-format
output files (usually specified with <option>-oN</option>)
uncluttered. When you do want to see those messages in the
normal output file you specified, add this option. It is
useful when you aren't watching the interactive output or
when you want to record errors while debugging a problem.
The error and warning messages will still appear in
interactive mode too. This won't work for most errors
related to bad command-line arguments because Nmap may not
have initialized its output files yet. In addition, some
Nmap error and warning messages use a different system which
does not yet support this option.</para>
<para>An alternative to <option>--log-errors</option> is
redirecting interactive output (including the standard error
stream) to a file. Most Unix shells make this
approach easy, though it can be difficult on Windows.</para>
