[NSE scripts documentation] "smbauth" library arguments wrongly proposed for many unrelated scripts (in "script arguments")

Hi everyone,

In the NSE documentation (https://nmap.org/nsedoc/) I have noticed that for
several scripts, under the "Script Arguments" section, there are suggested
arguments for the "smbauth" (and sometimes "smb") libraries even for
scripts that apparently have nothing to do with these.
For example:
https://nmap.org/nsedoc/scripts/ssl-enum-ciphers.html
https://nmap.org/nsedoc/scripts/http-waf-detect.html
https://nmap.org/nsedoc/scripts/http-methods.html
Etc.

I think this may confuse some users.

I suppose that these pages are automatically generated from script
metadata. I could propose a patch but I do not know where to find the code
responsible for this.

Happy new year!
