Jon Siwek 18f8427579 Change how "gridftp" gets added to service field of connection records.
In addition to checking for a finished SSL handshake over an FTP
connection, it now also requires that the SSL handshake occurs after
the FTP client requested AUTH GSSAPI, more specifically identifying the
characteristics of GridFTP control channels.

Addresses #891.

##! A detection script for GridFTP data and control channels.
##!
##! GridFTP control channels are identified by FTP control channels
##! that successfully negotiate the GSSAPI method of an AUTH request
##! and for which the exchange involved an encoded TLS/SSL handshake,
##! indicating the GSI mechanism for GSSAPI was used. This analysis
##! is all supported internally, this script simple adds the "gridftp"
##! label to the *service* field of the control channel's
##! :bro:type:`connection` record.
##!
##! GridFTP data channels are identified by a heuristic that relies on
##! the fact that default settings for GridFTP clients typically
##! mutally authenticate the data channel with TLS/SSL and negotiate a
##! NULL bulk cipher (no encryption). Connections with those
##! attributes are then polled for two minutes with decreasing frequency
##! to check if the transfer sizes are large enough to indicate a
##! GridFTP data channel that would be undesireable to analyze further
##! (e.g. stop TCP reassembly). A side effect is that true connection
##! sizes are not logged, but at the benefit of saving CPU cycles that
##! otherwise go to analyzing the large (and likely benign) connections.
