* "bro_is_terminating" is now "zeek_is_terminating"
* "bro_version" is now "zeek_version"
The old function names still exist for now, but are deprecated.
These are no longer loaded by default due to the performance impact they
cause simply by being loaded (they have event handlers for commonly
generated events) and they aren't generally useful enough to justify it.
For backward compatibility when reading values, we first check
the ZEEK-prefixed value, and if not set, then check the corresponding
BRO-prefixed value.
Broker::subscribe() after Broker::peer() may result in losing messages,
always best to do the reverse order.
Also possibly improved chance of unstable unit test output order.

This changes many weird names to move non-static content from the
weird name into the "addl" field to help ensure the total number of
weird names is reasonably bounded. Note the net_weird and flow_weird
events do not have an "addl" parameter, so information may no longer
be available in those cases -- to make it available again we'd need
to either (1) define new events that contain such a parameter, or
(2) change net_weird/flow_weird event signature (which is a breaking
change for user-code at the moment).
Also, the generic handling of binpac exceptions for analyzers which
to not otherwise catch and handle them has been changed from a Weird
to a ProtocolViolation.
Finally, a new "file_weird" event has been added for reporting
weirdness found during file analysis.
This introduces the following redefinable string constants, empty by
default:
- InputAscii::path_prefix
- InputBinary::path_prefix
- Intel::path_prefix
When using ASCII or binary reades in the Input/Intel Framework with an
input stream source that does not have an absolute path, these
constants cause Zeek to prefix the resulting paths accordingly. For
example, in the following the location on disk from which Zeek loads
the input becomes "/path/to/input/whitelist.data":
redef InputAscii::path_prefix = "/path/to/input";
event bro_init()
{
Input::add_table([$source="whitelist.data", ...]);
}
These path prefixes can be absolute or relative. When an input stream
source already uses an absolute path, this path is preserved and the
new variables have no effect (i.e., we do not affect configurations
already using absolute paths).
Since the Intel framework builds upon the Input framework, the first
two paths also affect Intel file locations. If this is undesirable,
the Intel::path_prefix variable allows specifying a separate path:
when its value is absolute, the resulting source seen by the Input
framework is absolute, therefore no further changes to the paths
happen.
* Better parsing/error-checking of VXLAN and encapsulated packet headers
* Add/implement the "vxlan_packet" event
* Add "Tunnel::vxlan_ports" option to tune the set of VXLAN ports to
analyze/decapsulate
* Add "Tunnel::validate_vxlan_checksums" option to allow for tuning of how
checksums associated with the outer UDP header of a possible VXLAN
tunnel are handled
Fixes GH-250
Disabling this option allows one to read pcaps, but still initiate
Broker peerings and automatically exit when done processing the pcap
file. The default behavior would normally cause Broker::peer() to
prevent shutting the process down even after done reading the pcap.
Still finding it to not be foolproof enough to enable generally for all
nodes in a cluster. Specific/advanced use-cases may still consider
enabling, possibly just for specific nodes.

* 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.
