Based on the Rust clippy lint that recommends that any public
function that dereferences a raw pointer, mark all FFI functions
that reference raw pointers with build_slice and cast_pointer
as unsafe.
This commits starts by removing the unsafe wrapper inside
the build_slice and cast_pointer macros then marks all
functions that use these macros as unsafe.
Then fix all not_unsafe_ptr_arg_deref warnings from clippy.

All cases of our transmute can be replaced with more idiomatic
solutions and do no require the power of transmute.
When returning an object to C for life-time management, use
Box::into_raw to convert the boxed object to pointer and use
Box::from_raw to convert back.
For cases where we're just returning a pointer to Rust managed
data, use a cast.
Before, even if there were no outputs, all the arguments
were evaluated, which could turn expensive
All variables which are used only in certain build configurations
are now prefixed by underscore to avoid warnings
Since the completion status was a constant for all parsers, remove the
callback logic and instead register the values themselves. This should
avoid a lot of unnecessary callback calls.
Update all parsers to take advantage of this.
This parameter is NULL or the pointer to the previous state
for the previous protocol in the case of a protocol change,
for instance from HTTP1 to HTTP2
This way, the new protocol can use the old protocol context.
For instance, HTTP2 mimicks the HTTP1 request, to have a HTTP2
transaction with both request and response
Optional callback a parser can register for applying configuration
to the 'transaction'. Most parsers have a bidirectional tx. For those
parsers that have different types of transaction handling, this new
callback can be used to properly apply the config.
AppLayerTxData is a structure each tx should include that will contain
the common fields the engine needs for tracking logging, detection and
possibly other things.
AppLayerTxConfig will be used by the detection engine to configure
the transaction.
