Significant issues with props.conf in Splunk Add-on Cisco for ASA

The sourcetype declarations in default/props.conf are severely flawed, and would make changes far outside the scope of the app if implemented as they are now.

Each sourcetype includes unacceptable wildcards (such as "everything ending in asa" and ("all tcp/udp inputs") that are very dangerous. Examples for the file:

[source::....asa]
sourcetype = cisco:asa
[source::tcp*]
TRANSFORMS-x = force_sourcetype_for_cisco_asa
[source::udp*]
TRANSFORMS-x = force_sourcetype_for_cisco_asa

At the very least, these should be commented out and have instructions on how to specify the user's own cisco asa sourcetype.
