This allows the path for the default filter to be specified explicitly
when creating a stream and reduces the need to rely on the default path
function to magically supply the path.
The default path function is now only used if, when a filter is added to
a stream, it has neither a path nor a path function already.
Adapted the existing Log::create_stream calls to explicitly specify a
path value.

Also changed asynchronous data store query code a bit; trying to make
memory management and handling of corner cases a bit clearer (former
maybe could still be better, but I need to lookup queries by memory
address to associate response cookies to them, and so wrapping pointers
kind of just gets in the way).
These functions are now deprecated in favor of alternative versions that
return a vector of strings rather than a table of strings.
Deprecated functions:
- split: use split_string instead.
- split1: use split_string1 instead.
- split_all: use split_string_all instead.
- split_n: use split_string_n instead.
- cat_string_array: see join_string_vec instead.
- cat_string_array_n: see join_string_vec instead.
- join_string_array: see join_string_vec instead.
- sort_string_array: use sort instead instead.
- find_ip_addresses: use extract_ip_addresses instead.
Changed functions:
- has_valid_octets: uses a string_vec parameter instead of string_array.

- Re-arrange how some fa_file fields (e.g. source, connection info, mime
type) get updated/set for consistency.
- Add more robust mechanisms for flushing the reassembly buffer.
The goal being to report all gaps and deliveries to file analyzers
regardless of the state of the reassembly buffer at the time it has to
be flushed.
- Remove all of the x-c detections. Nearly all false
positives.
- Remove the back up TAR detections. Not very helpful.
- Remove one of the x-elc detections that was too loose
and caused many false positives.
- Change to the default BOF buffer size to 3000 (was 1024).
- Reorganized MS signatures into a separate file
- Improved lots of the signatures and added new ones.
- This moves the signatures out of the libmagic imported signatures
and into our own general.sig.
- Expand the detection to LZMA compressed flash files.
The intel framework can now indicate which node discovered a
hit on an intel item through the new "node" field in the
Intel::Seen data structure. On clusters, this field will
contain the name of the node where the hit was seen.
with a MIME type.
Whenever that MIME is detected, Bro will now automatically activate
the analyzer. The interface mimics how well-known ports are defined
for protocol analyzers.
This isn't actually used by any existing file analyzer (because we
don't have any yet that target a specific file format), but there's a
test making sure it works.
At the moment, we have support for:
elliptic_curves: client supported elliptic curves
ec_point_formats: list of client supported EC point formats
application_layer_protocol_negotiation: list of supported application layer protocols (used for spdy/http2 negotiation)
server_name: server name sent by client. This was supported before, but... a bit brittle.
This prevents the worker nodes from crashing, when request_key is used
in cluster mode and called on the worker and the manager nodes (i.e. when
a non-cluster-aware script is used).
