The uint8_t *pkt in the Packet structure always points to the memory
immediately following the Packet structure. It is better to simply
calculate that value every time than store the 8 byte pointer.
If a session only has data in one direction, like ftp data sessions,
protocol detection will only run in one direction. This led to a
situation where reassembly would hold all the segments as proto
detection was never flagged as complete.
This patch introduces a limit for protocol detection in this case.
If the limit is reached, detection will give up.
In case of recursive call to protocol detection from within protocol
detection, and the recursively invoked stream still hasn't been ack'ed
yet, protocol detection doesn't take place. In such cases we will end up
still calling the app layer with the wrong direction data. Introduce a
check to not call app layer with wrong direction data.
When sockets are re-used reset all relevant vars correctly.
This commit fixes a bug where we were not reseting app proto detection
vars.
While fixing #989, we discovered some other bugs which have also been
fixed, or rather some features which are now updated. One of the feature
update being if we recieve wrong direction data first, we don't reset the
protocol values for the flow. We let the flow retain the detected
values.
Unittests have been modified to accomodate the above change.
Removed a flag parameter introuced earlier to indicate the data
that is first acceptable by the parser. We now use a differently
named parameter to carry out the same activity.
The logic we use currently is if we have already sent some data to
a parser before we figure out we have a proto mismatch, we use the
proto from the first direction from which we have already sent the
data to the parser, else we stick to the the to client direction.
PM and PP phase.
Replace the areas of the code that would otherwise rely on setting/reading
these flags with these macros.
Other minor tweaks to some api calls.
Removal of per flow 'aldata' array. It contained a ptr for each ALPROTO. Instead now we have 2 ptrs in the flow: alparser and alstate.
Various cleanups and dead code removal from the app layer API.
Should safe 100+ bytes memory per flow on 64 bit.
Updated lots of unittests to reflect these changes.
Per packet per app layer parser profiling. Example summary output:

Also added to the csv out.
In the csv out there is a new column "stream (no app)" that removes the
app layer parsers from the stream tracking. So raw stream engine performance
becomes visible.
Split stream reassembly in 2 parts: a part that sends ack'd data to the app
layer parsers as soon as it's available, and another part that queues up
data into larger chunks for raw inspection.
