Also now uses CMake's ENABLE_EXPORTS target property for the zeek
executable to ensure symbols are visible to plugins. Prior to CMake
3.4, the policy was to export symbols by default for certain platforms,
but later versions need either the explicit target property or policy.
The Zeek code base has very inconsistent #includes. Many sources
included a few headers, and those headers included other headers, and
in the end, nearly everything is included everywhere, so missing
#includes were never noticed. Another side effect was a lot of header
bloat which slows down the build.
First step to fix it: in each source file, its own header should be
included first to verify that each header's includes are correct, and
none is missing.
After adding the missing #includes, I replaced lots of #includes
inside headers with class forward declarations. In most headers,
object pointers are never referenced, so declaring the function
prototypes with forward-declared classes is just fine.
This patch speeds up the build by 19%, because each compilation unit
gets smaller. Here are the "time" numbers for a fresh build (with a
warm page cache but without ccache):

Most of these changes are either cmake-related or plugin-related.
Added a new test "plugins/legacy.zeek" to test that legacy Bro plugins
still work.
Also added a symlink bro-path-dev.in because some legacy Bro packages
won't install without it.
By default, OS X 10.11 does not include openssl headers.
Since building a Bro plugin #includes Bro headers, which #include openssl
headers, we need to tell cmake to find these so that the compiler
can use them.
that init-plugin now generates.
Also adding new test that makes sure the the skeleton created by
init-plugin compiles on its own withoyt any further changes.
