Implement a way to resolve multiple process in attachp (#1956)

* implement various resolve method to attachp

* add tests

* lint tests

* fix resolve_none test

* fix procps issue

* remove unused function

* Update pwndbg/commands/attachp.py

* Update pwndbg/commands/attachp.py

* first/last -> oldest/newest

* change default value to ask

* Provide informations about the config

* fix test

* fix lint

* catch eoferror
