Dirk 1924c9a0a6 Connectivity problems, man page update
See previous commit

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().
