[NSE] RFC: Adding HTTP protocol version to the response table

[nnposter <nnposter () users sourceforge net>]

Library http.lua is already parsing the status line of HTTP responses,
including the HTTP protocol version. This information should be captured
so that other code does not need to re-implement the version extraction.

I am proposing version as a new member of the response table. The value
is a string, as extracted from the status line. A consuming code could
use it as follows:

if response.version >= "1.1" then ...

This issue, including the actual patch, is documented at
https://github.com/nmap/nmap/issues/934

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.


Cheers,
nnposter
