[Bro-Dev] bro-pkg -> bropkg

[Siwek, Jon]

Either way seems fine to me also.  Maybe do a strawpoll and go w/ the majority.  Other misc. thoughts:

Internally, I already used “bropkg” instead of “bro-pkg” for the name of the Python package/API because Python discourages use of hyphens in module/package names.  But using the Python API isn’t a common use case and figure most devs can handle doing “import bropkg” even though the command-line tool is named “bro-pkg”.

I don’t think there’s an argument to change it for the sake of aligning the naming convention with “broctl” because there’s already "bro-cut”.  The hyphenation between those tools is already inconsistent or at least unclear why one deserves hyphenation and the other doesn’t.

If easier typing is the rationale, users do already have the option of creating their own shell alias.  

Another idea is to keep the command line tool named “bro-pkg”, but also install a symlink to it named “bropkg” for convenience.
