I still need to add the example output in the documentation, but I'm going to take this off draft so I can get a rabbit review.... |

Add completed scenarios to the six new LoongArch64 payload documents.
The documentation instructions require human-filled scenarios with real console output. Replace the placeholders in the four adapter documents with representative fetch commands and shell results. Also add payload and shell results to the standalone bind and reverse shell documents.
This is a required documentation issue, not an optional refactor.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Resolve hostname-valued LHOST before checking IPv4 format.
When LHOST is an IPv4-resolving hostname, this guard rejects it before address resolution. The reverse handler accepts hostnames, and option normalization preserves hostname strings. Generation therefore fails for an accepted option value. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Resolve an IPv4 address first. Keep the IPv6 rejection and add a hostname regression example. Rex::Socket.getaddress supports IPv4-only resolution. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Description
This PR adds loongarch64 shell payloads and adds the required configs to get them to work with fetch payloads to make them easier to test.
Breaking Changes
I really hope this does not break anything.
Reviewer Notes
loongarch64 hardware is available in the renegade lab, ask Brendan.
