ZAP Spider Changes

[kingthorin]

Just dropped by to give you a heads up. We're planning significant changes to the Spider for the upcoming 2.12 release of ZAP. It's been moved out of core and into an add-on.

You can see an overview of our tasks here: zaproxy/zaproxy#3113 which includes reference to PRs that cover all the Spider changes we've made to ZAP's add-ons. You can likely model your changes along with this.

The other option is to change the ASD build file to indicate it's not compatible with versions >= 2.12 (and publish a new release).

In the mean time if we recall correctly the ASD add-on does check if the core spider is available and handles situations where it isn't.
