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

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
