While not incorrect, the previous wording made the sentence almost
paradoxical. While at it, also highlight a side effect that might not be
so clear to users.

Adds frames for SSH records, that come after banner, and before
the data is encrypted.
These records may contain cipher lists for instance.
Ticket: 4863
On the way, convert some keywords to use the first-class integer
support.
And helpers for pure rust the support for multi-buffer.
Move the C unit tests about keyword mqtt.protocol_version
to unit tests for generic integer parsing, and test version 5
instead of testing twice version 3.
Also iterate all tx's messages for reason code as is done for other
keywords.
And allow detection on empty topics.

On the way, convert unit test DetectSNMPCommunityTest to a SV test.
And also, make snmp.pdu_type use a generic uint32 for detection,
allowing operators, instead of just equality.
With triggering stream reassembly early, since for certain types of
rules there may be more alerts triggered - even in IPS mode, make this
clear in the upgrading section.

- transactions are now bidirectional
- there is a logger
- gap support is improved with probing for resync
- frames support
- app-layer events

Although we have the example for a commit message in our Code Submission
Process sub-chapter, seems that people still oversee it a lot. It was
suggested that we put it in a note-box, to make it more visible.
When we added feature #5976 (72146b969), we overlook that we also have
a config stats option for the human-readable stats logs to output
0 counters.
Due to not seeing this before, we now have two different setting names
for basically the same thing, but in different logs:
- zero-valued-counters for EVE
- null-values for stats.log
This ensures we use the same terminology, and change the recently added
one to `null-values`, as this one has been around for longer.
Task #6962
Some stats can be quite verbose if logging all zero valued-counters.
This allows users to disable logging such counters. Default is still
true, as that's the expected behavior for the engine.
Task #5976
Some exception policies can only be applied to entire flows or
individual packets, for some exception scenarios. Make this easier to
read, in the documentation.

One of the lessons of the XZ backdoor story was that just linking to
libsystemd to call sd_notify is discouraged by the systemd project:
Lennart Poettering:
"PSA: In context of the xzpocalypse we now added an example reimplementation
of sd_notify() to our man page:
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/devel/sd_notify.html#Notes
It's pretty comprehensive (i.e. uses it for reload notification too), but
still relatively short.
In the past, I have been telling anyone who wanted to listen that if all you
want is sd_notify() then don't bother linking to libsystemd, since the
protocol is stable and should be considered the API, not our C wrapper
around it. After all, the protocol is so trivial"

This commit takes the example code and uses it to reimplement the notify
logic.
The code is enabled if Linux is detected in configure. Since the code
won't do anything if the NOTIFY_SOCKET env var isn't set, this should
also work fine on systems w/o systemd.
Ticket: #6913.
By default, when Sphinx generates the man pages, the current date will
be embedded in them. This can be set to a specific date with the
"today" variable. Typically the date embedded in manpages in the
release date.
To achieve this, attempt to use the environment variable, RELEASE_DATE
to set the "today" variable, reverting back to the empty string if not
set. It is up to our build system to properly set this date.
