If we find proof that it is useful, we can probably just enable this
for all NSE sockets.  I think Nmap already sets the broadcast flag for
it's connect()-based host discovery and port scanning, and Ncat now
does this too (Ncat uses the nsp_setbraodcast() function mentioned by
Daniel).  So if setting this enables a useful script to work, and we
don't identify any problems with using the flag, then we might just
set it in all cases rather than provide it as an optional function.

Cheers,
Fyodor
