fix(webconnectivity): expose network events (#258)
* fix(webconnectivity): expose network events

By not exposing network events in webconnectivity, we are missing
several interesting, explanatory data points.

This diff fixes the issue by:

1. enriching the definition of network events to include extra
data useful for performing (manual) data analysis;

2. adding a tags field to network events such that we can add
tags to specific events and understand where they come from;

3. exposing all the (tagged) network events that happen when running
a webconnectivity experiment.

See https://github.com/ooni/probe-engine/issues/1157.

Directory github.com/ooni/probe-engine/experiment

This directory contains the implementation of all the supported experiments, one for each directory. The OONI spec repository contains a description of all the specified experiments.

Note that in the OONI spec repository experiments are called nettests. Originally, they were also called nettests here but that created confusion with nettests in ooni/probe-cli. Therefore, we now use the term experiment to indicate the implementation and the term nettest to indicate the user facing view of such implementation.

Note that some experiments implemented here are not part of the OONI specification. For example, the urlgetter experiment is not in the OONI spec repository. The reason why this happens is that urlgetter is an experiment "library" that other experiments use to implement their functionality.

Likewise, the example experiment is a minimal experiment that does nothing and you could use to bootstrap the implementation of a new experiment. Of course, this experiment is not part of the OONI specification.
