Jon Siwek 9967aea52c Integrate new Broxygen functionality into Sphinx.
Add a "broxygen" domain Sphinx extension w/ directives to allow
on-the-fly documentation to be generated w/ Bro and included in files.

This means all autogenerated reST docs are now done by Bro.  The odd
CMake/Python glue scipts which used to generate some portions are now
gone.  Bro and the Sphinx extension handle checking for outdated docs
themselves.

Parallel builds of `make doc` target should now work (mostly because
I don't think there's any tasks that can be done in parallel anymore).

Overall, this seems to simplify things and make the Broxygen-generated
portions of the documentation visible/traceable from the main Sphinx
source tree.  The one odd thing still is that per-script documentation
is rsync'd in to a shadow copy of the Sphinx source tree within the
build dir.  This is less elegant than using the new broxygen extension
to make per-script docs, but rsync is faster and simpler.  Simpler as in
less code because it seems like, in the best case, I'd need to write a
custom Sphinx Builder to be able to get that to even work.

Bro Package Index
=================
Bro has the following script packages (e.g. collections of related scripts in
a common directory). If the package directory contains a ``__load__.bro``
script, it supports being loaded in mass as a whole directory for convenience.
Packages/scripts in the ``base/`` directory are all loaded by default, while
ones in ``policy/`` provide functionality and customization options that are
more appropriate for users to decide whether they'd like to load it or not.
