[Bro] loading modules and automatically using custom scripts (clautos)

Ok so I tried something. I downloaded audacity, notepad++, 7zip (in HTTP
from filehippo not from the official sites to make sure it's HTTP download).
I captured the downlaod with wireshark, and I found the PE in the pcap,
even with bro -r extract_file.
When I just load the extract_file plugin and download my exe files, the
extracted files are incomplete (they are much smaller than the real ones).
In addition to that, I suspected that it might have been caused by the -C
option but even without this option, my bro -r pcapfile.pcap extract_file
module could extract the whole executable.
In interactive mode though, I don't extract the whole executable.

tldr: The live capture doesn't extract the whole file but the bro -r
pcapfile.pcap path/extract_file does work
