* I verified that changes to PDF mixin do not affect any older modules that
generate PDF. I did this by (on each branch) running in irb, then
running the module and diffing the pdf's generated by each branch. There were
no changes.
* This refactors the logic of webview_addjavascriptinterface into a mixin (android.rb).
* Additionally, some behavior in pdf.rb had to be modified (in backwards-compatible ways).

Calling `ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection`, followed by
`ActiveRecord::Base.connected?` returns false unless some other code
requires a connection to be checked out first. The correct way to check
if the spec passed to `ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection` is to
checkout a connection and then ask if it is active.
`Msf::DBManager#connection_established?` does the checkout, active check
and checkin, and should be used in place of
`ActiveRecord::Base.connected?` and
`ActiveRecord::Base.connection_pool.connected?`.
`Msf::DBManager#active` should still be used as it also checks for
adapter/driver usability and that migrations have run.
refactor the Hashdump post module for window
to use the new cred creation methods.
Also some extra methods to do db safe checks
for record ids that we need

If ActiveRecord::Base is already connected, then don't attempt to create
the database (as it involves establishing a new connection) or
establishing a new connection after the creation. Still run the
migrations as the normal Rails::Application.initialize! will result in
ActiveRecord::Base.connected? being true even if migrations are missing.
To be clear, the shell that was tested with was 'windows/shell_reverse_tcp' delivered via 'exploit/windows/smb/psexec'
Additional changes required to fix regex to support the multiline output. Also, InstanceId uses a lower case 'D' on the platforms I tested - PowerShell 2.0 on Windows 2003, Windows 7, Windows 2008 R2 as well as PowerShell 4.0 on Windows 2012 R2.
This method doesn't appear to be used anywhere in the Metasploit codebase currently.
I have a case where on a Windows 2008 R2 host with PowerShell 2.0 the 'have_powershell' method times out. When I interactively run the command I find that the output stops after the PowerShell command and the token from 'cmd_exec' is NOT displayed. When I hit return the shell then processes the '&echo <randomstring>' and generates the token that 'cmd_exec' was looking for. I tried various versions of the PowerShell command string such as 'Get-Host;Exit(0)', '$PSVErsionTable.PSVersion', and '-Command Get-Host' but was unable to change the behavior. I found that adding 'echo. | ' simulated pressing enter and did not disrupt the results on this host or on another host where the 'have_powershell' method functioned as expected.
There may be a better solution, but this was the only one that I could find.
