METRON-1329: Simplify metron-bro-plugin-kafka package loading
This is a very simple change that normalizes the process of loading this
package in an existing bro system.
# Testing
1. Spin up a centos 7 VM.
```
vagrant init bento/centos-7.3
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
sudo su -
```
1. [Install bro 2.5.2](https://www.bro.org/sphinx/install/install.html)
and
[bro-pkg](http://bro-package-manager.readthedocs.io/en/stable/quickstart.html#installation).
Make sure you are running at least bro 2.5 and bro-pkg 1.2.0, and configure
bro-pkg properly.
```
# export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bro/bin
# bro --version
bro version 2.5.2
# bro-pkg --version
bro-pkg 1.2.2
# bro-pkg autoconfig
```
1. Install the bro package, and load it
```
bro-pkg install https://github.com/jonzeolla/metron-bro-plugin-kafka
--version METRON-1329
bro-pkg load metron-bro-plugin-kafka
echo "@load packages" >> /usr/local/bro/share/bro/site/local.bro
```
1. Ensure bro loads things properly.
```
broctl deploy
```
If this was successful, the last step should look like this:
```
[root@node1 site]# broctl deploy
checking configurations ...
installing ...
removing old policies in
/usr/local/bro/spool/installed-scripts-do-not-touch/site ...
removing old policies in
/usr/local/bro/spool/installed-scripts-do-not-touch/auto ...
creating policy directories ...
installing site policies ...
generating standalone-layout.bro ...
generating local-networks.bro ...
generating broctl-config.bro ...
generating broctl-config.sh ...
stopping ...
bro not running
starting ...
starting bro ...
```
Otherwise, it will return an error.
