Msf::Exploit#generate_payload

Generates the encoded version of the supplied payload using the payload
requirements specific to this exploit.  The encoded instance is returned
to the caller.  This method is exposed in the manner that it is such
that passive exploits and re-generate an encoded payload on the fly
rather than having to use the pre-generated one.

The return value is an EncodedPayload instance.
