#912: Need option for ASCII logging writer to only print CSV header line
------------------------+-------------------------------
 Reporter:  carsten     |       Type:  Feature Request
   Status:  new         |   Priority:  Normal
Milestone:  Bro2.2      |  Component:  Bro
  Version:  git/master  |   Keywords:  logging csv ascii
------------------------+-------------------------------
 The new logging framework is a big step forward, and the current Bro 2.1
 ASCII writer gives a lot of meta information to allow unambiguity and
 script based post-processing.

 In addition, I like to have a simplified logging format which I can just
 open in any spreadsheet program like Excel as a CSV file, i.e. only 1
 header row, and no prepending "#fields" entry.

 The attached diffs change 3 source files to add an option
 "only_single_header_row" to the ascii writer to achieve this simplified
 output.

 Please consider to bring it into next release.
