Origin link ID storage fix

[uruwhy]

Description

Since link IDs are now UUID strings, we will change the agent's origin_link_id field to be stored as a string rather than as an integer.

This will help address origin link ID issues in #2162

Requires mitre/gocat#59

Type of change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

How Has This Been Tested?

Updated and ran tests.

I'm getting an error when running a 54ndc47 agent. Seems like the instantiated agent still has origin_link_id as an int, because in the project logs I'm getting an ERROR (contact_http.py:40 _beacon) Malformed beacon: {'origin_link_id': ['Not a valid string.']}. HTML/TCP agents are working though

You'll need to make sure your gocat repo is using the branch from mitre/gocat#59 - unfortunately, I had to make changes to both the core platform code and the agent code itself. @bleepbop

Sorry, missed that before. Looks good to me!

This looks good to me. I think an update to the documentation regarding Lateral Movement Tracking should probably have a note about origin_link_id being a string instead.

Good idea - I'll make a PR for fieldmanual
