Seth Hall 2d85ab9818 Duplicate notice suppression.
- Duplicate notices are discovered with the new Notice::Info
  field $identifier.  It's a string that is left up to the
  notice implementor to define which would indicate a
  fundamentally duplicate notice.  The field is optional and
  if it's not included it's not possible for notice
  suppression to take place.

- Duplicate notices are suppressed by default for the interval
  defined by the Notice::default_suppression_interval variable
  (1 hour by default).

- A new notice action was defined ACTION_NO_SUPPRESS to prevent
  suppression for a specific notice instance.  A convenience set
  named not_suppressed_types was also created to not suppress
  entire notice types.

- A new field was added to the PolicyItem type to modify the length
  of time a notice should be suppressed if the predicate matches.
  The field is named $suppress_for.  This name makes the code more
  readable like this: $suppress_for = 1day

- New events were created to give visibility into the notice
  framework's suppression activity.
  - event Notice::begin_suppression(n: Notice::Info)
  - event Notice::suppressed(n: Notice::Info)
  - event Notice::end_suppression(n: Notice::Info)

- The suppression.bro script doesn't have a baseline because
  it is causing a segfault in Bro.  This one test is the
  reason that this is being integrated into a branch instead
  of master.

This directory contains suites for testing for Bro's correct
operation:

    btest/
        An ever-growing set of small unit tests testing Bro's
        functionality.

    external/
        A framework for downloading additional test sets that run more
        complex Bro configuration on larger traces files. Due to their
        size, these are not included directly. See the README for more
        information. 

    scripts/
        Helpers scripts used by some tests.
