I agree that the auto-enabled ping dependency is not user friendly,
but I cannot imagine a way to fix it. 

- nmap_wrapper should *not* depend on ping_host, as nmap includes a
"ping / don't ping" option

- snmp_portscan is slow if the target is alive but does not answer to
SNMP requests, so maybe we should let it run against dead hosts too?

- nmap_tcp_connect and synscan should probably remain untouched with
their dependencies on ping_host.
