The ASCII reader had a few messages that did not indicate in which
file it notices a problem. With the input framework it simplifies
troubleshooting when that file is spelled out, because you may have
multiple such files on your system.
Includes test baseline updates.
Calling Error() in an input reader now automatically will disable the
reader and return a failure in the Update/Heartbeat calls.
Also adds more tests.

This change introduces error events for Table and Event readers. Users
can now specify an event that is called when an info, warning, or error
is emitted by their input reader. This can, e.g., be used to raise
notices in case errors occur when reading an important input stream.
Example:
event error_event(desc: Input::TableDescription, msg: string, level: Reporter::Level)
{
...
}
event bro_init()
{
Input::add_table([$source="a", $error_ev=error_event, ...]);
}
For the moment, this converts all errors in the Asciiformatter into
warnings (to show that they are non-fatal) - the Reader itself also has
to throw an Error to show that a fatal error occurred and processing
will be abort.
It might be nicer to change this and require readers to mark fatal
errors as such when throwing them.
