Add script arguments to --script-help

Hi,

I've always thought the --script-help command should give you the script arguments so I don't have to look them up when I don't remember/know the argument variables.

For example the current output gives:
./nmap --script-help http-brute

http-brute
Categories: intrusive brute
http://nmap.org/nsedoc/scripts/http-brute.html
  Performs brute force password auditing against http basic authentication.


This patch includes the script arguments as follows:
http-brute
Categories: intrusive brute
http://nmap.org/nsedoc/scripts/http-brute.html
  Performs brute force password auditing against http basic authentication.
Script Arguments:
http-brute.path points to the path protected by authentication (default: /)
   http-brute.hostname sets the host header in case of virtual hosting
   http-brute.method sets the HTTP method to use (default: GET)


Feel free to suggest improvements to the code, it's a starting point. I couldn't find the @args tags loaded anywhere else so I grabbed them from the file ( Maybe not the most efficient way? )

Cheers.
