[NSE][Patch] Script output for targets-ipv6-multicast-*

[Daniel Miller <bonsaiviking () gmail com>]

List,

I was doing some testing with host discovery using the 
targets-ipv6-multicast-* family of scripts, and I found that it was 
discovering a host that would not reply to the neighbor discovery ping 
(a Windows Vista machine). I wanted to get the MAC address of the 
machine so I could correlate it with my IPv4 scan of the network. (Turns 
out, the machine has 2 link-scope IPv6 addresses. The one it won't 
respond to, I can't find on the machine using ipconfig /all. Mysterious!).

The long and short of it is that I generated this patch to make these 
scripts a little more verbose. I am pretty sure the MAC address part is 
not portable to other link-layer protocols, so I'd be open to 
suggestions for a better way of doing it. The existing targets-* scripts 
only print network-layer addresses, but the MAC address was the reason 
behind my work, so I left it in. Sample output:
> Pre-scan script results:
> |_targets-ipv6-multicast-invalid-dst: Found 3 targets
> |_targets-ipv6-multicast-echo: Found 4 targets
> |_targets-ipv6-multicast-slaac: Found 8 targets
With -v:
