The broxygen-generated files now live in the git repo, have tests
that check that they are up-to-date, and a script to re-generate
them on-demand.

===========================
.. bro:namespace:: DNS
Base DNS analysis script which tracks and logs DNS queries along with
their responses.

Summary

Runtime Options
###############
========================================================================== =======================================================================
:bro:id:`DNS::max_pending_msgs`: :bro:type:`count` :bro:attr:`&redef` Give up trying to match pending DNS queries or replies for a given
query/transaction ID once this number of unmatched queries or replies
is reached (this shouldn't happen unless either the DNS server/resolver
is broken, Bro is not seeing all the DNS traffic, or an AXFR query
response is ongoing).
:bro:id:`DNS::max_pending_query_ids`: :bro:type:`count` :bro:attr:`&redef` Give up trying to match pending DNS queries or replies across all
query/transaction IDs once there is at least one unmatched query or
reply across this number of different query IDs.
