david 0e7e3b90ca Make an unqualified number stand for seconds, not milliseconds, in ...

tval2msecs and tval2secs. This affects the following options:
  Nmap:
    --host-timeout
    --max-rtt-timeout --min-rtt-timeout --initial-rtt-timeout
    --scan-delay --max-scan-delay
    --stats-every
  Ncat:
    -d --delay
    -i --idle-timeout
    -w --wait
  Nping:
    --delay
    --host-timeout
    --icmp-orig-time --icmp-recv-time --icmp-trans-time
Some sanity checks have been added when it looks like someone is using
the old default of milliseconds. For example,

$ ./nmap --host-timeout 10000
The default unit for --host-timeout is seconds (since April 2010), so your time of "10000" is 2.8 hours. If this is what you want, use "10000s".
QUITTING!

$ ./nmap --scan-delay 1000
The default unit for --scan-delay is seconds (since April 2010), so your time of "1000" is 16.7 minutes. Use "1000ms" for 1000 milliseconds.
QUITTING!

Times with a unit are always taken at face value and will avoid the
error message.
