[Zeek-Dev] connection $history - 'g' for gap

[Jim Mellander]

It might be valuable to have some (optional) way of accessing the byte
counts consisting the content gap(s).  If the content gap is somewhere in a
long tail, but DPD still fails, then the explanation could be something
other than a content gap.

On the other hand, maybe you're just thinking about content gaps at the
head of a connection before it has been fully analyzed.
