output/alert: rewrite code for app-layer properties
Especially fix setup-app-layer script to not forget this part
This allows, for simple loggers, to have a unique definition
of the actual logging function with the jsonbuilder.
This way, alerts, files, and app-layer event can share the code
to output the same data.

af-xdp: detach XDP program early
To mitigate a bug with AF_XDP sockets in high traffic scenarios, the XDP program must be detatched before
the sockets are closed. This issue happens when large ammounts of traffic are sent to suricata and
the XDP program is not removed before AF_XDP sockets are closed. I believe this is a race
condition bug as detailed here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217712
Further investigation shows this may be a bug exclusive to the driver/AMD processor combination.
This commit addresses the bug by ensuring the first thread to run the deinit function
removes the XDP program, which fixes the bug as detailed in the bugzilla link.

The hot reload results in large chunks of memory being freed as the

examples: add an example plugin of an eve filetype
This is an example of what adding plugin examples to the Suricata repo
could look like.
This plugin is an example plugin for an EVE filetype. It could be
extended to support outputs like Redis, syslog, etc.
There is one issue with adding plugins like this to an autotools
project, the project can't be built with --disable-shared, which is
more of an autotools limitation, and not really a Suricata issue.
Suricata built with --disable-shared will load plugins just fine.
Note that the examples directory was added as DIST_SUBDIRS as we don't
want normal builds to recurse into it and attempt to build the plugin,
its just an example, but we still need to keep distcheck happy.
Until now the implementation would scan the stream, fallback to the
packet payload in exception cases, then keep track of where the match
was and in the flow match logic reject the match if it was in the wrong
buffer.
This patch simplifies this logic, by refusing to inspect the packet
payload when `only_stream` is set.
To do this the `only_stream`/`no_stream` options are now translated
to the pseudo protocols `tcp-stream` and `tcp-pkt` at parsing, so that
the `flow` keyword doesn't have to evaluate these conditions anymore.
Clarify the transform validation step. When a transform indicates that
the content/byte-array is not compatible, validation will stop.
Content is incompatible is some cases -- e.g., following the
to_lowercase transform with content containing uppercase characters.
An alert is not possible since the content contains uppercase and the
transform has converted the buffer into all lowercase.

outputs: call plugin ThreadDeinit, not Deinit
With the change to the hash table for tracking threaded loggers, this
call is now called once per thread, so should be changed to the
ThreadDeinit, as that is not longer being called.
Then call Deinit for the primary logger. In threaded mode this would be
the parent, its just the logger in non-threaded mode.

packetpool: signal waiter within lock
Needed for predictable scheduling. From pthread_cond_signal man page:
"The pthread_cond_signal() or pthread_cond_broadcast() functions may
be called by a thread whether or not it currently owns the mutex that
threads calling pthread_cond_wait() or pthread_cond_timedwait() have
associated with the condition variable during their waits; however, if
predictable scheduling behaviour is required, then that mutex is locked
by the thread calling pthread_cond_signal() or pthread_cond_broadcast()."

dns/eve: use default formats if formats is empty
If the configuration field "formats" is empty, DNS response records do
not have any relevant information other than that there was a
response, but not much about the response.
I'm pretty sure the intention here was to log the response details if
no formats were provided, which is what happens when the field is
commented out.
So if no formats are specified, use the default of all.
Make sure Suricata is in the running state before
you attempt to execute commands on the Unix sockets.
UnixMain is being called in an infinite loop where
TmThreadsCheckFlag(th_v, THV_KILL) is checked for the
deinit phase. However, it may take some time between
the start of Suricata's deinitialization and
the receipt of THV_KILL flag in the Unix thread.
In between this time period, the Unix manager can still
perform select() operation on the Unix socket while
the socket being already deinitialized.
Likely with a longer time span between the initial shutdown
command and actual closing of Unix sockets resulted in
an error of invalid file descriptors.

detect: inspect all packets in multi-layer tunneling
When the decoders encounter multiple layers of tunneling, multiple tunnel
packets are created. These are then stored in ThreadVars::decode_pq, where
they are processed after the current thread "slot" is done. However, due
to a logic error, the tunnel packets after the first, where not called
for the correct position in the packet pipeline. This would lead to these
packets not going through the FlowWorker module, so skipping everything
from flow tracking, detection and logging.
This would only happen for single and workers, due to how the pipelines
are constructed.
The "slot" holding the decoder, would contain 2 packets in
ThreadVars::decode_pq. Then it would call the pipeline on the first
packet with the next slot of the pipeline through a indirect call to
TmThreadsSlotVarRun(), so it would be called for the FlowWorker.
However when that first (the most inner) packet was done, the call
to TmThreadsSlotVarRun() would again service the ThreadVars::decode_pq
and process it, again moving the slot pointer forward, so past the
FlowWorker.
This patch addresses the issue by making sure only a "decode" thread
slot will service the ThreadVars::decode_pq, thus never moving the
slot past the FlowWorker.
