[framework] "clear" in msfconsole

[Joshua Smith]

Sorry, I should have prefaced this email with some context.  On irc a
couple days back, someone was asking about having a clear command in
their resource file (so non-interactive).  I think they wanted some
resource stuff to be run, but then to have the screen cleared
automatically, so they could start with a pretty screen.  I feel like
they weren't having success using the shell pass-thru, but I can't
remember exactly
