Summary: patch for check_nmap to report incorrect tmp dir & more

Initial Comment:
Changes by rouilj-np at renesys.com.

Patch generated against version 1.21 of check_nmap.py
included in nagios-plugins version 1.4.2

If the temporary directory specified in the program is not
present, check_nmap.py exits with a wierd error. My patch
checks to make sure the temp directory exists and is
writable.
It generates a useful error message if not accessible.

Temp directory changed to /var/spool/nagios/tmp.

The UNKNOWN status exit code is set to 3 rather than -1.

Updated script for python 2.x using random rather than
whrandom.

Added more debugging statements.

One feature added: The -N option passes arguments
directly to nmap. Useful for tuning nmap operation to
allow the plugin
to finish in less time than the default operating mode.
