Improve docs on -Pn and host discovery
...
"Host discovery" is the preferred term over "ping scan" because of
confusion with ICMP Echo Request, a.k.a. "ping" as used by the "ping"
utility. Warn when users use -Pn because it has negative impact on scan
times since ultrascan timing parameters fall back to slow initial
defaults.
