Suggestion for update nmap man page for -A option

[Borja Tarraso <borja.tarraso () gmail com>]

Hi,

I have some suggestion for update the man page of Nmap in order to clarify
the option -A. As this will only perform the OS detection if user has
privileges, so it was confusing to me the first time why -O option requires
meanwhile -A not. So I think it will be good to highlight this on the man
page. Here is the suggested patch:
