When attempting to update cached payload sizes which utilize the
Rex::Powershell functionality, the BRE block which appropriates
initial code is called with the 'code' variable being a nil which
results in:
```
lib/rex/powershell/script.rb:40:in `initialize': no implicit
conversion of nil into String (TypeError)
```
This throws a conditional into the File.open call which presents an
empty string instead of a nil. This still results in the rescue
block having to catch the exception, but manages to keep the
payload size updating script happy an retains consistent
behavior.
It should not look like this:
```
meterpreter > ps -h
Usage: ps [ options ]
OPTIONS:
-S Search string to filter by
-h This help menu
```
It should not not look like this:
```
meterpreter > ps -h
Use the command with no arguments to see all running processes.
The following options can be used to filter those results:
OPTIONS:
-A <opt> Filters processes on architecture (x86 or x86_64)
-S <opt> String to search for (converts to regex)
-U <opt> Filters processes on the user using the supplied RegEx
-h Help menu.
-s Show only SYSTEM processes
```
Allow searching through netstat output tables for specific strings.
Example:
```
meterpreter > netstat -S 192

Merge forked changes to cmd_ps allowing for the use of string
matching on listing output via Rex::Ui::Text::Table's SearchTerm
facility
Example:
```
meterpreter > ps -S x64.*Auth.*Sys
