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.
