Remove fastlib as it slows down the code loading process. From the
previous commit, the mean loading for
`METASPLOIT_FRAMEWORK_PROFILE=true msfconsole -q -x exit` was
27.9530±0.3485 seconds (N=10). The mean after removal of fastlib
was 17.9820±0.6497 seconds (N=10). This means an average 35.67%
reduction in boot time.
[#47720609]
Fix some docs and variable names to make it clearer when methods are
expecting module instance and module classes. Change some 'name'
variables to 'reference_name' since that's the proper terminology.
Instead of deleting all non-symbolics before the re-adding phase of
PayloadSet#recalculate, store a list of old module names, populate a
list of new ones during the re-adding phase, and finally remove any
non-symbolic module that was in the old list but wasn't in the new list.
Also includes a minor refactoring to make ModuleManager its own thing
instead of being an awkard subclass of ModuleSet. Now PayloadSet doesn't
need to know about the existence of framework.modules, which makes the
separation a little more natural.

[#36737359]
Refactor the behavior of loading symbolic modules from cache by renaming
methods so it's clearer what they do and ensure that cached modules from
Fastlibs and directories can both be loaded, which was not previously
possible since the demand_load_module only called load_module_from_file.
Changed lexical scope when I changed the declaration from module Msf;
class ModuleSet to class Msf::ModuleSet so that constants in Msf would
not automatically resolve.
[Fixes#36737359]
Refactor Msf::ModuleManager into concerns so its easier to understand and
duplicate code can be made DRY. The refactoring also ensures that when
loading from directories, Fastlibs, or reloading, the wrapper module will
always be named so that activesupport/dependencies will function.
