iaito: use radare2 with one hand!

iaito is the official graphical interface for radare2, a libre reverse engineering framework.

• Based on radare2 and Qt-5/6
• Iaito was the original name before being forked as Cutter.
• Use all your favourite r2 plugins and scripts (nothing is specific to iaito)
• Focus on simplicity, parity with commands, features, keybindings
• Forensics, bindiffing, binary patching, .. not just a static disassembler
