[Bro-Dev] changing Notice::policy mechanism

[Robin Sommer]

Here's another variant. Don't know yet if I like it but we could make
use of type overloading for finding the right cases:

    with (n: Notice::Info)
    {
        if ( xxx )
            break; # short circuit
    }

    with (n: Notice::Info)
    {
        if ( yyy )
            do_someting();
    }

    [...]
    local n: Notice::Info;
    switch on n;
    [...]


"switch on" runs all "with"s that have a matching argument type.
Predicated need to be written explictly as if() stmts.

There might be nicer syntax than "with" and "switch on".
