Sometimes msfconsole takes a little while to start.
This adds a fairly common ASCII spinner to the startup sequence.
I haven't spec'ed it, and the code organization isn't great, so consider
this PR more of a cry for help than something immediately landable.
That said, it works for me.
On August 15, shuckins-r7 merged the Metasploit 4.10.0 branch
(staging/electro-release) into master. Rather than merging with
history, he squashed all history into two commits (see
149c3ecc63 and
82760bf5b3).
We want to preserve history (for things like git blame, git log, etc.).
So on August 22, we reverted the commits above (see
19ba7772f3).
This merge commit merges the staging/electro-release branch
(62b81d6814) into master
(48f0743d1b). It ensures that any changes
committed to master since the original squashed merge are retained.
As a side effect, you may see this merge commit in history/blame for the
time period between August 15 and August 22.

`ActiveSupport::OrderedOptions` automatically create an attribute for
any missing keys, so when `options.console.resource` was used it would
return `nil` instead of the erroring. The correct option name was
`options.console.resources` (note the pluralization).

`Metasplot::Framework::Require.optionally` can be used to optionally
require a library and then issue a warning if the require fails or run a
block when it succeeds.
