nrpe checks failing because of low ping

I modified the check_nrpe (and check_nt, too) code so that a 'connection
refused', timeout or protocol error would result in an unknown, rather than
a critical.  This also means I get 'unknown' if the NRPE agent is not
running (which is what I want, since the host is not necessarily in a
critical state).

Works for us, but you might want a failing agent to produce a critical.  If
this is the case, just add a flag to make this behaviour disableable.
