Replaced some with InternalWarning or InternalAnalyzerError, the later
being a new method which signals the analyzer to not process further
input. Some usages I just removed if they didn't make sense or clearly
couldn't happen. Also did some minor refactors of related code while
reviewing/exploring ways to get rid of InternalError usages.
Also, for TCP content file write failures there's a new event:
"contents_file_write_failure".
Doesn't generate any docs, but it's hooked in to all places needed to
gather the necessary stuff w/ significantly less coupling than before.
The gathering now always occurs unconditionally to make documentation
available at runtime and a command line switch (-X) only toggles whether
to output docs to disk (reST format).
Should also improve the treatment of type name aliasing which wasn't a
big problem in practice before, but I think it's more correct now:
there's now a distinct BroType for each alias, but extensible types
(record/enum) will automatically update the types for aliases on redef.
Other misc refactoring of note:
- Removed a redundant/unused way of declaring event types.
- Changed type serialization format/process to preserve type name
information and remove compatibility code (since broccoli will
have be updated anyway).
Made some class templates for code that seemed duplicated between
file/protocol tags and managers. Seems like it helps a bit and
hopefully can be also be used to transition other things that have
enum value "tags" (e.g. logging writers, input readers) to the
plugin system.
