Robin Sommer a5e9a535a5 Changing semantics of Broker's remote logging to match old communication framework.
Broker had changed the semantics of remote logging: it sent over the
original Bro record containing the values to be logged, which on the
receiving side would then pass through the logging framework normally,
including triggering filters and events. The old communication system
however special-cases logs: it sends already processed log entries,
just as they go into the log files, and without any receiver-side
filtering etc. This more efficient as it short-cuts the processing
path, and also avoids the more expensive Val serialization. It also
lets the sender determine the specifics of what gets logged (and how).

This commit changes Broker over to now use the same semantics as the
old communication system.

TODOs:
     - The new Broker code doesn't have consistent #ifdefs yet.

     - Right now, when a new log receiver connects, all existing logs
     are broadcasted out again to all current clients. That doesn't so
     any harm, but is unncessary. Need to add a way to send the
     existing logs to just the new client.

README

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.
