* All "Broxygen" usages have been replaced in
code, documentation, filenames, etc.
* Sphinx roles/directives like ":bro:see" are now ":zeek:see"
* The "--broxygen" command-line option is now "--zeexygen"
This adds the capability for the user to attach a reason when removing
or destroying a rule. The message will both be logged in netcontrol.log
and forwarded to the responsible plugins.
Addresses BIT-1655
When Bro was compiled with broker disabled, then some Bro scripts
were referencing functions and types that were not defined. Fixed
by adding @ifdefs to several scripts. Removed one @ifdef because
it was causing several unit tests to fail.
Also fixed the @TEST-REQUIRES check in tests that rely on broker so
that such tests are skipped when broker is disabled.
Also renamed the "print" function to "send_print" and the "event"
function to "send_event" because Bro shows a syntax error when a
Bro script function is named "event" or "print".

This has no user-facing changes. It makes the internal handling of rules
much easier (no crazy duplicate rules in case our rules are added to
several backends).
It also fixes several open ends and small bugs in the process.
This does not really have many user-facing changes. The one big change
is that users now should initialize plugins in the
NetControl::init()
event instead of bro_init.
Once all plugins finished initializing and the NetControl framework
starts operations, the NetControl::init_done() event is raised.
Rules that are sent to NetControl before the plugins have finished
initializing are ignored - this is important when several plugins that
require external connections have to be initialized at the beginning.
Without this delay, rules could end up at the wrong plugin.
The hook name is NetControl::acld_rule_policy and allows the
modification of acld rules before they are sent out to the network.
This allows, e.g. network policies to use nullzero instead of drop in
certain circumstances.
Netcontrol log now includes more information; before that, it had not
quite caught up to the new capabilities (like flow modifying and
redirection, as well as mac addresses).
Furthermore, this fixes a number of bugs with cluster mode (like
duplicate events), test failures due to updates in Bro, etc.
Events now generally carry the unique ID of the backend that is given
during initialization; there are a few more functions and other
bugfixes.
A few netcontrol tests are still broken (mostly due to a pcap update in
msater).
