This commit finally fixes#1005 so that either a --ssl-native scan
terminates on the next (defined) occasion if there are network connectivity
problems. It introduces another set of variables (MAX_OSSL_FAIL vs. NR_OSSL_FAIL).
As "openssl s_client connect" is sometimes still being used without --ssl-native
it also shortens the wait for regular scans if an outage is encountered.
To make things easier bot sets (incl. *_SOCKET_FAIL) of variables are independent.
For the seldom case that somebody uses --ssl-native with client checks an exception
had to be made as otherwise only MAX_OSSL_FAIL client check would be performed.
This hasn't been understood yet...
As sometimes HTTP header requests (over OpenSSL) fail repeatedly in a way that an empty
reply is returned, the same strategy of detecting problems is applied here,
using MAX_HEADER_FAIL and NR_HEADER_FAIL.
All three detection mechanisims share a new function connectivity_problem().
File names are now auto-generated by using "-oA auto" / -oa "auto"
--similar to --csv and friends.
Also the formerly hidden switches --outFile and --outfile were added in the
help and in the manual.
Until the content is finalized the plan is to keep it in MD format.
For medium terms it is something which needs to be reconsidered
as markdown as the source format for documentation has too many limits.
Happy for suggestions here.
In the meantime here's what needs to be done:
* finalizing (see comments)
* proofreading 1: accuracy, logic, more content related
* proofreading 2: grammar, spelling
* more? pls let me know
