The purpose of Msf::Post::Windows::Process is have all the common
functions you might need to do something to a process, for example:
injecting something to a process and then run it.
After many tests, it turns out address 0x0c0d2020 is the most
consistent location acorss various IE versions. For dev purposes,
it's rather important to have this documented somewhere.
Thanks to corelanc0d3r for the data.
Also replaces dead code in lib/msf/core/exploit/local.rb with what was
actually being used for the Exploit::Local class that lived in
lib/msf/core/exploit.rb.
Aside from codebase-wide changes, nearly all of these tests haven't been
touched since before 2010, and there is no effort to maintain this style
of testing. We've moved on to (correctly) seperating out our tests from
our codebase.
While it makes lots of sense to bring check to all modules, of course
some modules will not be able to actually use it. Namely modules like
nop and payload modules. If you're feeling creative, you could probably
come up with semantically similar checks for those, too.

Msf::PayloadSet#add_module does NOT return an annotated module class as
Msf::ModuleSet#add_module does because a payload module is defined as a
ruby Module instead of a ruby Class. Since add_module doesn't always
return an annotated_class, the logic in
Msf::ModuleManager#on_module_load needed to change to NOT use
annotated_class and create #add_module as return [void]. Thus, it is
necessary to pass in all the metasploit module metadata to
Msf::ModuleManager#cache_in_memory instead of assuming they can be
derived from the (payload) Module or (other) Class.
[#47720609]
Msf::ModuleManager#module_info_by_path was not being updated when a
module was loaded, so if a load_module was called again, say during
start up of prosvc, the module would reload even though there was no
change in the file because file_changed? couldn't find an entry for the
module's path in module_info_by_path.
