Switch to -sn and -Pn as the new preferred synonyms for -sP and -P0.

This establishes a more regular syntax for some options that disable
phases of a scan:
	-n  no reverse DNS
	-Pn no host discovery
	-sn no port scan
Also, the -sP was possibly misleading because the 'P' suggests "ping
scan," when you can now do more than just pinging when you disable port
scanning. For example, -sC -sn and -sn -Pn --traceroute make sense.

Script scanning is normally done in combination with a port scan,
because scripts may be run or not run depending on the port states
found by the scan. With the <option>-sP</option> option it is
found by the scan. With the <option>-sn</option> option it is
possible to run a script scan without a port scan, only host
discovery. In this case only host scripts will be eligible to run.
To run a script scan with neither a host discovery nor a port scan,
use the <option>-PN -sP</option> options together with
use the <option>-Pn -sn</option> options together with
<option>-sC</option> or <option>--script</option>. Every host will
be assumed up and still only host scripts will be run. This
technique is useful for scripts like
