Upgrade to scanner module with threading support

[hdm at metasploit.com (H D Moore)]

Quick breakdown:

run_host() - called with a single IP, with THREADS concurrent threads. The 
best way to mass-test a range of addresses for a host-specific issue.

run_batch() - called with a group of IPs with the size defined by the 
run_batch_size() method, with THREADS concurrent threads. This means it 
will process multiple batches at the same time, so don't use this for 
single-host testing (its useful for a few edge cases basically).

run_range() - called *once* for the entire range of hosts. This is useful 
if you are going to be passing this range to another tool or doing some 
network-wide test. For example, calling the nmap program.
