Removed showSSHVersion.nse

Hi all.  After discussions with David today, we decided to remove the
simple showSSHVersion.nse script.  Its only real claim to fame was the
ability to trick some SSH servers (including at least OpenSSH
4.3p2-9etch3) into not logging the connection.  This is a neat trick,
but doesn't seem to work with newer versions of OpenSSH, as my
openssh-server-4.7p1-4.fc8 does log the connection. Without the
stealth advantage, the script has no real benefit over version
detection or the upcoming banner grabbing script.

So I've deleted it for now.  But if anyone actually wants or uses this
script, please speak up.

Cheers,
-F
