Removed some "demo" NSE scripts

Hi all. After discussions with David, I've removed some relatively useless (now) scripts and changed the categories of a couple others. Here are the details: o Removed echoTest. It was trivial a "demo" category script which was just created for testing purposes and I don't think it is needed any longer. o Removed chargenTest.nse for the same reasons as echoTest. o Removed showHTTPVersion. This was also just created for testing purposes, and even had code which you had to comment out in order for it to ever run. o Removed showSMTPVersion.nse, as I think SMTPcommands serves this purpose better. o Removed showHTMLTitle from the undocumented "demo" category, but this great script remains in the "default" and "safe" categories. o Moved daytimeTest from the "demo" category to "discovery". We almost decided to remove it entirely. It only handles UDP, and not the TCP demo service, and it could be performed more efficiently by modifying the version detection daytime sigs to print the data. But on the other hand, it can be useful in some circumstances. This leaves just showSSHVersion and SMTP_openrelay in the undocumented "demo" category. I don't know whether we should keep showSSHVersion. Does its technique for avoiding logging still work? Also, I'm not sure what we should do about SMTP_openrelay. The big issue is what domain name we use for it. If anyone has any comments or objects to this, please speak up! Or if you have other ideas for scripts which should be removed or recategorized, let us know on nmap-dev.
