[Bro-Dev] get_event_peer() with Broker

[Robin Sommer]

I was looking at how to extend the get_event_peer() bif to work with
Broker events and realized that there's problem I hadn't thought about
so far: when a event comes into Bro through Broker, there's no way
right now to tell which peer it was sent from. If I'm not missing
anything, the event comes only with event name and arguments, but no
meta information of any kind that would point to its source.

I think adding such meta information would be quite valuable, however
it's actually not trivial to do that, as it would change the signature
for incoming events across the whole Broker code base, including
language bindings etc.

Any ideas?
