Use `supported_commands` to restrict a module to specific platform/command

all commands, which keeps older modules compatible. Supported pairs are:
Use `supported_commands` to declare the platform/command pairs a module

a warning. This explicit declaration is required for every command. Supported
pairs are:

# Check an iOS Sysdiagnose
`mvt-ios check-sysdiagnose` prepares an iOS sysdiagnose archive for analysis by
custom MVT modules. MVT does not include built-in sysdiagnose modules. You must
load at least one custom module that explicitly supports this command.
The command accepts either an extracted sysdiagnose directory or the original
gzip-compressed tar archive.
```bash
mvt-ios check-sysdiagnose \
--load-module ./sysdiagnose_modules.py \
--output ./results \
./sysdiagnose_2024.01.02_03-04-05+0200.tar.gz
```
Use `--hashes` to include hashes for analyzed files in `info.json`, and
`--list-modules` to display the eligible custom modules without running them.
## Writing a custom module
Extend `SysdiagnoseExtraction` to access the archive contents consistently for
both directory and tar inputs. Each module must declare the command explicitly
in `supported_commands`.
```python
from mvt.ios.modules.sysdiagnose import SysdiagnoseExtraction
class ExampleSysdiagnoseModule(SysdiagnoseExtraction):
supported_commands = (("ios", "check-sysdiagnose"),)
slug = "example_sysdiagnose"
def run(self):
paths = self._get_files_by_pattern("*/example.log")
if paths:
content = self._get_file_content(paths[0]).decode("utf-8", "replace")
self.results = [{"content": content}]
def check_indicators(self):
pass
def serialize(self, result):
return None
```
The base class provides `from_sysdiagnose_folder()` and
`from_sysdiagnose_tar()` setup hooks, as well as protected file lookup, file
reading, and timezone extraction helpers. IPS crash-report metadata is exposed
on `ips_files`.
