add reverse_tcp handler to fix bug in latest update

[tkisason]

Verification

List the steps needed to make sure this thing works

• Start msfconsole
• Verify the thing does not do what it should not

The payload was missing require 'msf/core/handler/reverse_tcp', latest update pulled with msfupdate broke the startup of the framework, where you got this kind of an error:

Thanks 👍 :)

Thanks @tkisason! Due to the random order that modules can load, these do crop up occasionally. Not everyone is affected due to sort order on disk, OS, etc.

@jmartin-r7 @darkbushido something good to resurrect is the test project that loads every module (including payloads) 1-by-1 to find implicit load order dependencies between modules.

Release Notes

This fix resolves an issue with a missing require, 'msf/core/handler/reverse_tcp', in the Android Meterpreter reverse TCP payload, which caused an error when you tried to start up msfconsole.
