By putting the db group into the metasploit-framework-db.gemspec,
bundler no longer automatically required 'metasploit/credential' and
'metasploit_data_models' because gems, such as metasploit-framework-db,
are expected to explictly require their dependencies.
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.

`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.
