For `|x|`, where `x` is an expression with an integral result, an
implicit coercion of that result into signed `int` type no longer takes
place.
This was actually the behavior before Zeek 3.0 as well, but the attempt
to prevent mistakes that easily result from integer literals in Zeek
being unsigned like `|5 - 9|` causing an overflow/wraparound and
yielding a very large number is not generally consistent since overflows
are still generally able to happen in other ways and also in other
contexts besides just absolute-values. So the preference was to revert
to a behavior that favors consistency. For reference, see
https://github.com/zeek/zeek/pull/251#issuecomment-713956976
This also installs symlinks from "zeek" and "bro-config" to a wrapper
script that prints a deprecation warning.
The btests pass, but this is still WIP. broctl renaming is still
missing.
