Remove fastlib as it slows down the code loading process. From the
previous commit, the mean loading for
`METASPLOIT_FRAMEWORK_PROFILE=true msfconsole -q -x exit` was
27.9530±0.3485 seconds (N=10). The mean after removal of fastlib
was 17.9820±0.6497 seconds (N=10). This means an average 35.67%
reduction in boot time.
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.
This fixes a huge number of hard-to-detect runtime bugs
that occur when a default utf-8 string from one of these
libraries is passed into a method expecting ascii-8bit

It's compacting of the version parts into a single float doesn't work
with APIMinor over 10, so replace with Gem::Version, which compares
parts correctly.
so we shouldn't have to load all of them to run this utility. The
overall goal of this PR is to narrow down what modules
(exploit/aux + payload + encoder + nop) you possibly need in order
to shave off loading time. By doing this, on my box this is 5-6
seconds faster than the original one.
I actually tried to avoid making too many changes in the library
(such as Module Manager), because we don't have test cases for them,
and we can't really afford to risk breaking it. I also developed
a test script to actually be able to test msfcli.
