Jon Siwek 53d9832d5a Fix a problem with non-manager cluster nodes applying Notice::policy.
This could, for example, result in duplicate emails being sent (one from
manager and one from worker) if Notice::emailed_types is redef'd in
local.bro (or any script that gets loaded on all cluster nodes).

The problem was that Notice::policy is used to populate the internal
Notice::ordered_policy vector in a priority 10 bro_init handler (in
scripts/base/frameworks/notice/main.bro) and then that is what is used
when applying policy to notices.  In order for
scripts/base/frameworks/notice/cluster.bro to prevent Notice::policy
from being used on non-manager nodes, it needs to clear it in a
bro_init hander of higher priority than 10.
