This change adds two new hooks to the Intel framework that can be used
to intercept added and removed indicators and their type.
These hooks are fairly low-level. One immediate use-case is to count the
number of indicators loaded per Intel::Type and enable and disable the
corresponding event groups of the intel/seen scripts.
I attempted to gauge the overhead and while it's definitely there, loading
a file with ~500k DOMAIN entries takes somewhere around ~0.5 seconds hooks
when populated via the min_data_store store mechanism. While that
doesn't sound great, it actually takes the manager on my system 2.5
seconds to serialize and Cluster::publish() the min_data_store alone
and its doing that serially for every active worker. Mostly to say that
the bigger overhead in that area on the manager doing redundant work
per worker.

This adds a redefinable const to the internals of the Intel framework, to allow
suppression of the manager sending its current min_data_store when a worker
connects. This feature is desirable for nodes that check in "late" to bring them
up to speed, but during testing it introduces nondeterminism.
