Intercept requests based on context paths

[guilherme-fh]

PR Details

Up until now the mitmproxy was intercepting all network traffic which caused issues when trying to perform other network activities with Mockingbird activated.

With these changes, we'll leverage the --allow-hosts option to solely intercept requests with the path for the context selected. This will allow any user to use internet freely on their device when filtering requests according to their request

Description

• Adds mitm-on.sh script to start the mitmdump_mb executable with the --allow-hosts option depending on the selected context status
• Removes filtering performed on ContextManager (no longer needed since this is being done at the mitmproxy level
• Adds label to alert the user to disable the Server before changing the context
• Removes ProcessObject and runAsync since we're no longer launching executables directly from the source code

Motivation and Context

In our teams, a painpoint that we felt a lot was the loss of all network connection when we simply wanted to intercept requests based on a determined context.

How Has This Been Tested

After applying these changes, I ran the Mockingbird app several times with no context applied or with context applied (with single or multiple paths). While in the first scenario all traffic is targeted and any activity using internet traffic is halted, in the second scenario only the traffic that is targeted by the context is intercepted and the user can work with the remaining activities.
