Add --plugin <PATH> to load an additional plugin from the command
line. This is more convenient than "--set plugins.X" especially when
you may already have a plugins loaded and you want to load an
additional one.
Ticket: 8463
Refactor pcap file deletion to use a single delete-when-done option
with three values instead of separate boolean options:
- false (default): No deletion
- true: Always delete files
- "non-alerts": Delete only files with no alerts
Also account for alerts produced by pseudo packets (flow timeout / shutdown flush):
- Introduce small capture hooks and invoke on pseudo-packet creation so the
capture layer can retain references and observe alerts emitted after the last
live packet
- Call the hook from both TmThreadDisableReceiveThreads and TmThreadDrainPacketThreads
Key changes:
- Replace should_delete/delete_non_alerts_only bools with enum
- Move alert counter from global to per-file PcapFileFileVars
- Relocate alert counting from PacketAlertFinalize to pcap module
- Ensure thread safety for both single and continuous pcap modes
- Add unit tests for configuration parsing and pseudo-packet alert path
The --pcap-file-delete command line option overrides YAML config
and forces "always delete" mode for backward compatibility.
Documentation updated to reflect the new three-value configuration.
Fixes OISF#7786
Update -v documentation to reflect the new behaviour discussed
in bug #1851 where -v changes the log level to fixed levels
instead of an offset of the default log level configured
in suricata.yaml.

Add option to have pcap files deleted after they have been processed.
This option combines well with pcap file continuous and streaming
files to a directory being processed.
The command line options can now be consumed by the man page
and the user guide.
Some attempt was made to order the options from common/basic
progressing to advanced with some notion of options
grouped together.
