Merge branch 'topic/robin/event-dumper'

Changes:

   - Changing semantics of the new_event() meta event: it's raised
     only for events that have a handler defined. There are too many
     checks in Bro that prevent events wo/ handler from being even
     prepared to raise to do that differently.

   - Adding test case.

* topic/robin/event-dumper:
  New script misc/dump-events.bro, along with core support, that dumps events Bro is raising in an easily readable form.
  Prettyfing Describe() for record types.
