Jon Siwek 7e9d48f532 Remove broxygen Sphinx integration
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:id:: InputConfig::empty_field
:Type: :bro:type:`string`
:Attributes: :bro:attr:`&redef`
:Default: ``""``
String to use for empty fields.
By default this is the empty string, meaning that an empty input field
will result in an empty set.
.. bro:id:: InputConfig::fail_on_file_problem
:Type: :bro:type:`bool`
:Attributes: :bro:attr:`&redef`
:Default: ``F``
Fail on file read problems. If set to true, the config
input reader will fail when encountering any problems
while reading a file different from invalid lines.
Examples of such problems are permission problems, or
missing files.
When set to false, these problems will be ignored. This
has an especially big effect for the REREAD mode, which will
seamlessly recover from read errors when a file is
only temporarily inaccessible. For MANUAL or STREAM files,
errors will most likely still be fatal since no automatic
re-reading of the file is attempted.
Individual readers can use a different value using
the $config table.
.. bro:id:: InputConfig::set_separator
:Type: :bro:type:`string`
:Attributes: :bro:attr:`&redef`
:Default: ``","``
Separator between set and vector elements.
Please note that the separator has to be exactly one character long.
Events
######
.. bro:id:: InputConfig::new_value
:Type: :bro:type:`event` (name: :bro:type:`string`, source: :bro:type:`string`, id: :bro:type:`string`, value: :bro:type:`any`)
Event that is called when a config option is added or changes.
Note - this does not track the reason for a change (new, changed),
and also does not track removals. If you need this, combine the event
with a table reader.
:name: Name of the input stream.
:source: Source of the input stream.
:id: ID of the configuration option being set.
:value: New value of the configuration option being set.
