[NmapFE PATCH] Remove some bogus if (...) realloc() code from nmapfe_sig.c

The attached patch removes some weird, unneeded code.

It currently calls realloc(command, 2560) EVERY time the function is
called because command_size never changes. This just calls malloc(2560)
 the first time and removes the extra variables.

It's a diff against 4.20ALPHA8

Thanks,
Kris Katterjohn
