[patch] better match for Oracle servers (especially on AIX)

[Matt Selsky <selsky () columbia edu>]

Here's a slight tweak to the oracle match line to better detect Oracle database servers running on AIX.  With the 
patch, output is as follows:

$ ./nmap -sV -p 1521 server

Starting Nmap 5.05BETA1 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2009-11-18 02:54 EST
Nmap scan report for server (192.168.1.150)
Host is up (0.00036s latency).
rDNS record for 192.168.1.150: server
PORT     STATE SERVICE    VERSION
1521/tcp open  oracle-tns Oracle TNS Listener 10.2.0.4.0 (for IBM/AIX RISC System/6000)

Service detection performed. Please report any incorrect results at http://nmap.org/submit/ .
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 6.12 seconds


The patch allows the OS string in the "TNS version" response to be slightly longer.  IBM/AIX RISC... is a mouthful :-)

I don't know if Oracle runs on platforms with longer strings than this AIX one.
