* "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.
* All "Broxygen" usages have been replaced in
code, documentation, filenames, etc.
* Sphinx roles/directives like ":bro:see" are now ":zeek:see"
* The "--broxygen" command-line option is now "--zeexygen"
This adds the capability for the user to attach a reason when removing
or destroying a rule. The message will both be logged in netcontrol.log
and forwarded to the responsible plugins.
Addresses BIT-1655
This adds an event that is raised once Catch & Release ceases the
block management for an IP address because the IP has not been seen in
traffic during the watch interval.
This allows users who use their own logic on the top of catch and
release know when they will have to start re-blocking the IP if it
occurs in traffic again.
Great work, and great documentation!
I'm getting one test failure with
scripts.base.frameworks.netcontrol.catch-and-release-cluster Going
ahead and commiting, Jenkins will show the details I assume.

* origin/topic/johanna/netcontrol-improvements:
SMTP does not need to pull in the notice framework.
Write NetControl framework documentation.
Use NetControl for ACTION_DROP of notice framework.
NetControl: slightly update catch and release logging
NetControl: fix several small logging issues
NetControl: more catch and release logging and cluster fix
NetControl: rewrite catch and release and small fixes.
NetControl: find_rules_subnet works in cluster mode
NetControl: fix acld whitelist command
NetControl: add rule exists as state besides added and failure.
NetControl: Suppress duplicate "plugin activated" messages.
NetControl: make new broker plugin options accessible
NetControl: add predicates to broker plugin
forgotten messages are only logged on the manager (or standalone host)
now. Logs are not written by default anymore when Bro encounters traffic
that should have been blocked.
This commit rewrites catch and release, fixing issues with it and making
it fully cluster capable. A dedicated netcontrol_catch_release.log is
also added.
This is not quite done yet; a few more log messages are missing. There
should hopefully not be many big issues left.
This introduces two new events, NetControl::rule_new and
NetControl::rule_destroyed, which are raised when rules are first added
and then deleted from the internal state tracking.
When Bro was compiled with broker disabled, then some Bro scripts
were referencing functions and types that were not defined. Fixed
by adding @ifdefs to several scripts. Removed one @ifdef because
it was causing several unit tests to fail.
Also fixed the @TEST-REQUIRES check in tests that rely on broker so
that such tests are skipped when broker is disabled.
Also renamed the "print" function to "send_print" and the "event"
function to "send_event" because Bro shows a syntax error when a
Bro script function is named "event" or "print".

...
Adds the functions
NetControl::find_rules_addr and NetControl::fund_rules_subnet
which return a vector containing all rules affecting a certain IP or
subnet.
This has no user-facing changes. It makes the internal handling of rules
much easier (no crazy duplicate rules in case our rules are added to
several backends).
It also fixes several open ends and small bugs in the process.
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.
The hook name is NetControl::acld_rule_policy and allows the
modification of acld rules before they are sent out to the network.
This allows, e.g. network policies to use nullzero instead of drop in
certain circumstances.
Netcontrol log now includes more information; before that, it had not
quite caught up to the new capabilities (like flow modifying and
redirection, as well as mac addresses).
Furthermore, this fixes a number of bugs with cluster mode (like
duplicate events), test failures due to updates in Bro, etc.
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).
