[Patch] Badly named output files

[Jay Bosamiya <jaybosamiya () gmail com>]

Hi All!

d33tah on IRC said, "i'm getting the impression that maybe nmap should
warn me if i do something as stupid as -oX -sV logfile.txt"

I personally feel that it should not be a warning but an error (with
nmap quitting).

Attached is a patch that does this (and for other output types as well).
It shows the error messages similar to "Output filename begins with '-'.
Try '-oX ./-sV' if you really want it to be named as such. QUITTING."

I also have added in some error checking for "-oA -" which should not be
allowed IMHO.

Feedback is welcome.

Cheers,
Jay
