* origin/topic/jsiwek/bit-1967:
Fix a routing loop in control framework
Add Broker::forward() function
Enable implicit Broker message forwarding by default
Remove Cluster::broadcast_topic
Remove Intel Broker topics, re-use existing Cluster topics
Remove "relay" family of Broker functions
This enables explicit forwarding of events matching a given topic
prefix. Even if a receiving node has an event handler, it will not
be raised if the event was sent along a topic that matches a previous
call to Broker::forward().
Namely these are now removed:
- Broker::relay
- Broker::publish_and_relay
- Cluster::relay_rr
- Cluster::relay_hrw
The idea being that Broker may eventually implement the necessary
routing (plus load balancing) functionality. For now, code that used
these should "manually" handle and re-publish events as needed.
Turns out that base/misc/version.bro did not parse Bro versions
correctly in case the version is just 2.5-12 or similar. This commit
fixes this oversight and adds a few more small testcases.
This adds previously-missing support for "Alter Context"
request/response PDUs (initial patch contributed by Mark Fernandez).
Also, context ID arguments were added to dce_rpc_bind, dce_rpc_request,
and dce_rpc_response in order to properly track what endpoint/operation
a given opnum maps to.

Add script to support the old DHCP events
Updated coverage tests and fixed incorrect DHCP:: scoping on some things
The loop over Reducers in SumStats::observe performs a key normalization
and inadvertently modifies the key used for subsequent iterations.
Reported by Jim Mellander.
Now defaults to a max of 4 threads typically indepedent of core
count (previously could go up to a hard cap of 8). Also now allow
controlling this setting via BRO_BROKER_MAX_THREADS environment
variable.
