Plugins are a convenient way to group together related lua scripts.
Their primary use case is to group user scripts and their alert/status
definition.
The builtin ntopng user scripts and definitions are now
packed into plugins directories. In future, we will support loading of
user created plugins.
Plugins are loaded at startup into some runtime directories and then
used. Other changes provided by this commit include:
- Add sample flow logger plugin
- Initial support for system user scripts
- Rename edge to threshold
- Migrate system probes to user scripts/plugins
- Migrate scripts to more explicit alerts_api.checkThresholdAlert api
NOTE: The existing alerts configuration of the users will be discarded.
Some code has been added to make the current gui on/off toggle work.
It is marked with the following comment:
-- TODO remove after implementing the new gui

Now periodic callbacks are properly called even when alerts are disabled
The granularity filter and check_function has been replaced with a more generic hooks list
