Payload Rename Justification

Many payloads perform the same task, yet have different names. This results in confusion and a bad new-user experience. Specifically, ARCH_CMD payloads differ greatly from their shellcode-derived brethren. For example, the most heavily used payload is windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp; the equivalent in ARCH_CMD land is cmd/unix/reverse, which gives no indication that the session type will be a shell.
I propose we rename all the aberrantly-named payloads to match the convention. Specifically:
-
cmd/unix/bind_awk->cmd/unix/shell_bind_tcp_awk -
cmd/unix/bind_lua->cmd/unix/shell_bind_tcp_lua -
cmd/unix/bind_netcat->cmd/unix/shell_bind_tcp_netcat -
