Did not remove calls to stdnse.silent_require since these can be used to
abort script execution if OpenSSL is not included, even if the script
does not directly call openssl.* (perhaps it uses comm.tryssl instead,
for instance).
Also did not remove require "strict", since that library is special and
modifies the environment.
stdnse.print_debug accepts a format string and arguments, making
string.format redundant in calls of this form:
stdnse.print_debug(1, string.format("%s: error", SCRIPT_NAME))
stdnse.print_debug(("length %d"):format(#tab))
These can be rewritten as:
stdnse.print_debug(1, "%s: error", SCRIPT_NAME)
stdnse.print_debug("length %d", #tab)
Mostly in documentation (the description field, for instance), but also
some long literal strings. Lua 5.2 introduces a string escape, "\z",
which escapes any amount of subsequent whitespace, including newlines.
This can be used to wrap string literals without upsetting indentation.

Mostly found with:
for i in nselib/*.lua scripts/*.nse; do
echo $(perl -lne 'BEGIN{$a=$p=0}next unless $_;/^(\s*)/;' \
-e '$l=length$1;next if$l==$p;$a+=(abs($l-$p)-$a)/$.;' \
-e '$p=$l;END{print$a}' $i) $i

And indented with: https://gist.github.com/bonsaiviking/8845871
whois-ip.nse was particularly mangled (probably my fault due to using
vim's built-in indentation script, but it could be structured better)
From this thread: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2014/q1/105
* Extensions now better supported in tls.lua
* ssl-enum-ciphers sends all EC options to ensure servers reply with
supported EC suites
* tls.lua supports multiple messages of a single type within 1 record
* tls.record_buffer will read an entire TLS record into a buffer
* ssl-date and tls-nextprotoneg updated to use tls.record_buffer
These implementations were all functionally identical. The replacement
has an extra feature of returning the index where the value was found,
currently unused.
This function will format a MAC address as colon-separated hex bytes.
It's really very simple: stdnse.tohex(mac, {separator=":"})
This commit updates all the instances I could find of the varying
convoluted attempts at performing this conversion.
Please read the documentation. This is a way to add unit testing to NSE
libraries (not scripts, yet). Please add tests to your libraries!
Examples to come in further commits.
