What does this PR do?

Adds comprehensive documentation for the linux/samba/chain_reply module (CVE-2010-2063).

No code changes - pure documentation addition.

Verification

Docs-only PR - no functional changes to test.

  • Documentation added for undocumented module [file:85]
  • Matches existing Samba docs format (is_known_pipename.md)
  • Includes CVE, targets, options, scenarios, technical details
  • Follows Metasploit documentation standards

Verification Steps (for reviewers):
cd metasploit-framework
ls documentation/modules/exploit/linux/samba/chain_reply.md # ✅ Exists
cat documentation/modules/exploit/linux/samba/chain_reply.md # ✅ Complete

Why this matters: Module existed without docs. Users can now understand:

  • Samba < 3.3.13 (port 139, x86 Linux)
  • talloc destructor overwrite technique
  • Brute force exploitation (Offset2=0x1fec)
  • Debian 5 target details

Update documentation to point to a specific wayback machine page since the original does not exist, and a few of the wayback machine links are also broken.
