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.
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).
