[Bro-Dev] Building bro 2.6 with static broker/caf libraries

[Johanna Amann]

FYI - there now also is a topic/johanna/static branch in the base
repository, which adds a --enable-static-broker flag that automatically
builds/links static broker/caf against Bro.

Pull request in https://github.com/zeek/zeek/pull/224.
