Move event-generator

[leodido]

Motivation

The event-generator tool is a C++ tool written by @mstemm to generate events Falco can catch.

In the past (example: the PSP generator), we decided to let stay in Falco only what really is Falco.
Which means, that side tooling should live somewhere else.

Furthermore does not seems perfectly fine to me that its source code is inside the docker directory.

Feature

Discuss in the public (and then act) whether the event-generator tool has to live in Falco or somewhere else.

I see some options:

1. move it to its own C++ repo
2. rewrite it in Go as a library (pkg) and integrate into falcoctl
3. use it from falcoctl using the docker image exposing the binary build in case (1)

Alternatives

Keep it here.

Additional context

I'll propose a discussion about this in the next community call.

Just talked with @leogr that is available to port it in Go if we all decide like so.

I would prefer option 2. In that case, I could help!

PoC in progress https://github.com/leogr/event-generator

As discussed during the community call, we decide to move the new event-generator to the Falco org and - when ready - use it as a replacement for the old one.

The new one will live in its own repo.

I suggest keeping this issue open until the old one can be removed from this repo.
