Speaking about NSE IPv6, there are some scripts which assume that they
are running in the IPv4 mode even if the '-6' option was specified. This
is buggy code.

Scripts that are using protocols which are available _only_ in one mode
IPv4 or IPv6, can call the nmap.address_family() function, check the
returned string 'inet' or 'inet6' and fail silently with a debug
message.

Hello,

Please find attached a patch that add such a check for several IPv4
only scripts. I have only checked and fixed scripts that perform "raw"
packets manipulation.

The patch also contains error messages standardization, replacing
nmap.log_write() with hardcoded script name by the more common
stdnse.print_debug() using the SCRIPT_NAME variable (as noticed in
[1]).
The same scripts and functions are concerned by both modifications.

Regards.
