Make it a warning, not a fatal error, when we can't get the hardware address

Browse Source 
for an interface, and skip the interface. The warning looks like

Warning: Unable to get hardware address for interface %s -- skipping it.

This happens when a FireWire interface (fw*) has an address configured on Mac
OS X. Previously Nmap would die in getinterfaces so it wasn't even possible to
scan over the other interfaces.

# Nmap Changelog ($Id$); -*-text-*-
o Nmap now prints a warning instead of a fatal error when the hardware
address of an interface can't be found. This is the case for
FireWire interfaces, which have a hardware address format not
supported by libdnet. Thanks to Julian Berdych for the bug report.
[David]
o Added the pjl-ready-message.nse script from Aaron Leininger. This
script allows viewing and setting the message displayed by printers
that support the Printer Job Language.
