Aryma 03d283cf49 refactor(payload): rename apollo to ares and update documentation
This commit renames the Apollo payload type to Ares, moving all associated files and updating documentation accordingly. The change includes:
- Renaming directories from `apollo` to `ares`
- Updating documentation image references
- Maintaining the same code functionality while changing the payload name
- Adding new Ares-specific documentation files
- Removing old Apollo documentation files

The rename is done to reflect the new payload name while preserving all existing functionality.

Detailed Summary

The execute_assembly command uses a .NET Common Language Runtime loader to execute assemblies within a sacrificial process and return output over a named pipe back to the agent. This loader is injected into a sacrificial process (specified by the spawnto_* commands) and passes the assembly's bytes over a named pipe, which is then loaded reflectively using System.Reflection.Assembly.Load. This assembly is then invoked and passed any passed arguments while streaming data over the named pipe.

This creates a new artifact relating to the sacrificial process spawned, which can be viewed in the artifacts page.
