Title: Don't load the framework just to print help

Makes "msfvenom -h" instant instead of going through all the overhead of
require'ing the entire framework and Rex. The only thing that used it
before was listing the output formats, so a new option, --help-formats,
has been added to provide the same information (with the associated
overhead).
