Currently `!findall` will, starting from scratch, lookup system table, find the debug table configuration table, scan through all image, and try to load each symbol. This is fine for manual invocation but is not ideal for automated use as it results in a lot of memory use. This change creates a "refresh" option (`!findall -r`) that will re-use the system table and/or debug table pointer. It also cleans up some of the code for readability.
This changes introduces a callback into the UefiExt for state transitions. Using this, it will track breaks that occur after a resume (not a step) and will automatically check the debug table for new images loaded since the last break. This commit makes it so `!findall` shouldn't need to be called automatically after the initial connection. This leverages the refresh option for find all to optimize memory use.
Updates the RUST tag to PATINA to more accurately reflect the intended environment. Additionally adds the "Patina Debugger" tag check for future changes in Patina.
