Historically, a 'when' condition performed an AST-traversal to locate
any index-expressions like `x[9]` and evaluated them so that it could
register the associated value as something for which it needs to receive
"modification" notifications.
Evaluating arbitrary expressions during an AST-traversal like that ignores
the typical order-of-evaluation/short-circuiting you'd expect if the
condition was evaluated normally, from its root expression.
Now, a new subclass of IndexExpr is used to keep track of all IndexExpr
results in the context of evaluating a 'when' condition without having
to do a secondary AST-traversal-and-eval. i.e. the first evaluation of
the full 'when' condition follows the typical expression-evaluation
semantics (as always), but additionally now captures all the values
a Trigger needs to monitor for modifications.

Includes small fixes in files that changed since the merge request was
made.
Also includes a few small indentation fixes.
Only 1% build time speedup, but still, it declutters the headers a bit.

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):

- Adds new trigger namespace
- Adds trigger::Manager class as a new IOSource for keeping track of triggers and integrating them into the loop. Previously the loop relied on the event manager Drain() method to process all triggers on every loop, but now that the loop actively waits for events to occur, triggers would not fire when they needed to. Adding them as part of the loop ensures they're checked.
There's now an notifier::Modifiable interface class that class
supposed to signal modifications are to be derived from. This takes
the place of the former MutableValue class and also unifies how Val
and IDs signal modifications.
This commit marks (hopefully) ever one-parameter constructor as explicit.
It also uses override in (hopefully) all circumstances where a virtual
method is overridden.
There are a very few other minor changes - most of them were necessary
to get everything to compile (like one additional constructor). In one
case I changed an implicit operation to an explicit string conversion -
I think the automatically chosen conversion was much more convoluted.
This took longer than I want to admit but not as long as I feared :)
Also changed asynchronous data store query code a bit; trying to make
memory management and handling of corner cases a bit clearer (former
maybe could still be better, but I need to lookup queries by memory
address to associate response cookies to them, and so wrapping pointers
kind of just gets in the way).
- 'when' statements were problematic when used in a function/event/hook
that had local variables with an assigned function value. This was
because 'when' blocks operate on a clone of the frame and the cloning
process serializes locals and the serialization of functions had an
infinite cycle in it (ID -> BroFunc -> ID -> BroFunc ...). The ID
was only used for the function name and type information, so
refactoring Func and subclasses to depend on those two things instead
fixes the issue.
- 'return when' blocks, specifically, didn't work whenever execution
of the containing function's body does another function call before
reaching the 'return when' block, because of an assertion. This was
was due to logic in CallExpr::Eval always clearing the CallExpr
associated with the Frame after doing the call, instead of restoring
any previous CallExpr, which the code in Trigger::Eval expected to
have available.
- An assert could be reached when the condition of a 'when' statement
depended on checking the value of global state variables. The assert
in Trigger::QueueTrigger that checks that the Trigger isn't disabled
would get hit because Trigger::Eval/Timeout disable themselves after
running, but don't unregister themselves from the NotifierRegistry,
which keeps calling QueueTrigger for every state access of the global.
