Implemented AI based "saccades" engine to improve scanning efficiency. The Saccades engine borrows from vision systems research and allows SNF to learn important message structures and adapt it's scanning technique in real-time. Using this engine SNF can often avoid scanning large portions of each message without missing important content resulting in potentially 10 fold improvements in scanner efficiency.
Fixed a bug in scanMessageFile where the XHDRInjectOn flag was being interpreted before it had been set by the configuration This caused large messages to be rewritten shorter than they needed to be when header injection was turned on because the flag would appear to be off and the MessageFileSize would be recalculated downward. Later, after the flag was set, the headers would be injected into the shortened file.
Added a function to snf_RulebaseHandler that safely peeks at the current configuration to facilitate the above bug fix.
Bumbed the minor revision number for the engine.

Changed boolean to bool at 986 and 987 - bool is the correct type specifier for C++ and this was causing errors on one of the labrat compilers. No idea why it worked perfectly on mingw!
Reworked rule voting code to clarify and bring the code closer to current standards. This was part of researching a potential problem involving the voting of panicked rules and this rebuild has verified that there is no problem --- panicked rules are indeed inert as intended.
Fixed bug where only one of multiple source header directives with the same source header definition would be recognized. The fix was to improve the comparator function for HeaderFinderPattern so that it included context. Prior to that only one source header definition would be recognized because the ordinal is always 0 for source headers. As a result, only the first context could be registered.
Refactored HeaderFinder::CheckContent() to improve the coding style and make use of a switch().
Corrected a bug in HeaderFinder::CheckContent that would allow a header forced source IP to be set multiple times. Now it will only be set when the first event where all of the conditions are satisfied. Bug was that the test that the source had already been set was looking at the source IP which is actually never set until the actual message scan begins (after header directives have already been evaluated).
Changed SNFMulti revision to 16.
