`Msf::TaskManager` was only used for `Msf::DBManager#sink`, which was
removed because it was unused, so `Msf::TaskManager` can also be
removed.

`Msf::DBManager::Sink` contains code for a `sink` that is a meant to
serialize database events, but it's unneeded because all database events
go directly through ActiveRecord, which handles threading.

`Msf::Framework#threads?` returns whether `Msf::Framework#threads` was
ever initialized. If `Msf::Framework#threads?` is true, then threads
need to be cleaned up, while if it is false then no threads need to be
cleaned up from the current framework.

`Rex::ThreadFactory.provider` needs to be set in
`Msf::Framework#initialize`, but setting it directly to
`Msf::Framework#threads` eliminates the laziness of
`Msf::Framework#threads`. In order keep `framework.threads` lazy,
`framework` is wrapped in a
`Metasploit::Framework::ThreadFactoryProvider`, which responds to
`spawn`, which is needed by `Rex::ThreadFactory`, by calling
`framework.threads.spawn`, which lazily initialized `framework.threads`
when the first thread needs to be spawned.

Switch `Msf:Framework#db` from being set in `#initialize` to a custom
method that uses `||=` to lazily initialize the `Msf::DBManager` inside
a `synchronize` block to make it thread safe.

Store options `Hash` passed to `Msf::Framework#new` in `#options` so
that lazily initialized children, such as DBManager, have access to
those options.

Switch `Msf::Framework#sessions` from being set in `#initialize` to a
custom method that uses `||=` to lazily initialize the
`Msf::SessionManager` inside a `synchronize` block to make it thread
safe.

* Appears to have been overlooked somehow in the pre-BlackHat crunch

Switch Msf::Framework#threads to a custom method that uses `||=` to
lazily initialize the `Msf::ThreadManager` inside a `synchronize` block
to make it thread safe.
This change adds two new Rex exceptions and changes the local comm to raise the right one depending on the circumstances. The problem with the existing model is
that failed binds and failed connections both raised the same exception. This change is backwards compatible with modules that rescue Rex::AddressInUse in additi
on to Rex::ConnectionError. There were two corner cases that rescued Rex::AddressInUse specifically:
1. The 'r'-services mixin and modules caught the old exception when handling bind errors. These have been updated to use BindFailed
2. The meterpreter client had a catch for the old exception when the socket reports a bad destination (usually a network connection dropped). This has been updat
ed to use InvalidDestination as that was the intention prior to this change.
Since AddressInUse was part of ConnectionError, modules and mixins which caught both in the same rescue have been updated to just catch ConnectionError.
Minor tweaks after the PR from @kernelsmith
Remaining items:
1. Handle empty session IDs correctly, for example 'sessions -d' or 'sessions -k'
2. Find a method of explaining the range options in the help text
3. Retest all changed code areas
4. Edit PR Summary to reflect changes to the scope
