www_fingerprinting_hmap is a bit slow, sometimes uselessly noisy, and
it might crash broken web servers, although I tried to make it non
intrusive in "safe checks" mode.
I discovered that a "POST" request with no data killed an ADSL
router. The request is now excluded in "safe checks".
 
It should be possible to make it quicker. I found that some queries
are redundant.
So I should extract a simplified plugin from it:
- less requests
- less precise data -- we cannot really know if we have Apache/1.3.18
or 1.3.20, what matters really is that it is Apache/1.3 and not IIS/4
