This is a maintenance fix for the NSE Nsock library binding. The patch focuses
on code correctness and simplicity. The patch also brings some initial updates
with an eye towards the upcoming Lua 5.2 release. See [1] for a post concerning
this branch.

* Adding path-mtu.nse for Path MTU Discovery
* Nmap now stores the MTU for interfaces (from SIOCGIFMTU or libdnet)
* Scripts can access the MTU for host.interface via host.interface_mtu
* Nmap prints the MTU for interfaces in --iflist
The scripts are:
- oracle-brute uses the brute and tns library to perform password guessing
- oracle-enum-users attempts to determine valid Oracle user names
[Patrik]
Domino oriented scripts:
- domino-enum-users.nse guesses users and attempts to download ID files by
exploiting (CVE-2006-5835).
- domino-enum-passwords attempts to download Internet passwords and ID files
from the web server.
- domcon-brute performs password guessing against the remote console.
- domcon-cmd adds support for running custom remote console commands.

- informix-brute uses the brute framework to perform password guessing
- informix-query add support for running SQL queries against Informix
- informix-tables lists table- and column-names for a given database

socket:connect(host.ip, port.number)
socket:connect(host.ip, port.number, port.protocol)
to this:
socket:connect(host, port)
connect can take host and port tables now, and the default protocol is
taken from the port table if possible.
scan. By default, it will do upt o 8 open ports and up to 1 closed
port. These limits can be controlled with the qscan.numopen and
qscan.numclosed script arguments. [David]
o It no longer uses the global environment to store the modules table
o It now uses loadfile() to load the configuration files, which follows best practices better
o The module() line at the top of the configuration files is no longer required, but if it exists all that happens is a warning is printed
o Worked around what appears to be a bug in one person's Nmap install where absolute paths didn't resolve properly -- I couldn't replicate, but he confirmed it was fixed
o Add two new Script scan phases:
Script Pre-scanning phase: before any Nmap scan operation, activated by the new "prerule".
Script Post-scanning phase: after all Nmap scan operations, activated by the new "postrule".
o New environment variables:
SCRIPT_PATH
SCRIPT_NAME
SCRIPT_TYPE: the type of the rule that activated the script.
