[IntelMQ-dev] Updates on IEP01

[Birger Schacht]

Dear *,

after getting rid of the BOTS and the defaults.conf files (see [0]) we 
used the last weeks on merging the pipeline.conf and changing the format 
of the runtime file to YAML.

The pipeline configuration is now part of the individual bot 
configuration in the runtime definition. In addition, there is no more 
need to define a source queue for bots, by default the source queue is 
called '{botid}-queue', but you can override the name by setting the 
source_queue setting.
Another change, one regarding the definition of the destination queues, 
is that we will drop support for defining those using a string or a list 
of strings. Only named queues [1] are supported for destination_queues, 
starting with IntelMQ 3.0.

The announced switch to using YAML for the format of the runtime 
configuration is now also merged. We used this change to also change the 
fileextension from .conf to .yaml, which means having syntax 
highlighting without having to modify your editors configuration ;) 
IntelMQ will rename the file for you if it finds a runtime.conf file and 
it also updates the format to yaml once it writes the configuration 
(i.e. during an upgrade step or if you for change a bot configuration 
using intelmqctl).

We also started on updating the documentation to reflect the changes, 
feel free to browse the latest version online [2].

cheers,
Birger
