Title: Banner updates for Pro free trial messaging

I like free software. I also like having the occasional paycheck so my kids don't complain about hunger pangs.

## Verification

### Rotating banner blurbs

- [ ] Run `msfconsole`
- [ ] **On a git source checkout**: You should **not** see the rotating blurbs
- [ ] Copy `core.rb` to an installed binary version of Metasploit Community Edition on Windows, in `C:/metasploit/app/pro/msf3/lib/msf/ui/console/command_dispatcher/`
- [ ] **On a Windows install**: You should see the rotating blurbs when you start `msfconsole`
- [ ] Copy `core.rb` to an installed binary version of Metasploit Community Edition on Linux, in `/opt/metasploit/app/pro/msf3/lib/msf/ui/console/command_dispatcher/`
- [ ] **On a Linux install**: You should see the rotating blurbs when you start `msfconsole`

### Static link to Metasploit Pro download

- [ ] Run `msfconsole`
- [ ] You should see the banner trailer with the shortlink:
