refactor spawning logic.

[leonjza]

Right now, the objection spawning logic is not great. We can't reliably do early instrumentation, and with Frida 15, some new API's are around that we can use to improve application selection etc. Some quick thoughts on what needs implementing:

• refactor the patcher to just enable debug mode in apps to use jailed testing as described here: https://www.nowsecure.com/blog/2020/01/02/how-to-conduct-jailed-testing-with-frida/
• refactor the spawning logic (and the way commands work) to allow for real early instrumentation
• upgrade to frida 15. explore the portal feature to see what we could leverage here. https://frida.re/news/2021/07/16/frida-15-0-released/
• investigate Java.backtrace (frida/frida-java-bridge@f0c4daf)

• add the resume repl command to resume apps

Well, I can't thank you for this. Who knows how many times I tried typing %resume in Objection REPL 😹
On a serious note: this is awesome. And at what better time then with newest Frida release, eh?

I will sure be among the first who will (s)t(r)est it out 💟 Will update personal observations here asap

edit: attaching by $pid has been ditched as it seems.

Notable diff: Initialization of new Agent Object via CLI, Gadget ditch, New Agent logic

If you provide a pid to --name it should work ok.
