TA-trackme-lookupmonitor

Generative custom command used by TrackMe to monitor lookups: discovers CSV file based lookups and KVstore based lookups, reads the actual filesystem modification time of CSV files and counts records efficiently. Deployed on the search head where the lookups live, including remote search heads through TrackMe remote accounts.
