There is currently a build failure with macos-latest (recently updated)
to 11 in the libhtp test suite code. Not sure if there are other
build issues in libhtp or Suricata at this time.
The flows exceeding the spare pools config setting would be freed
per at max 100 flows a second. After a high speed test this would
lead to excessive memory use for a long time.
This patch updates the logic to free 10% of the excess flows per
run, freeing multiple blocks of flows as needed.
Bug: #4731.
In a scenario where there was suddenly no more traffic flowing, flows
in a threads `flow_queue` would not be processed. The easiest way to
see this would be in a traffic replay scenario. After the replay is done
no more packets come in and these evicted flows got stuck.
In workers mode, the capture part handles timeout this was updated to
take the `ThreadVars::flow_queue` into account.
The autofp mode the logic that puts a flow into a threads `flow_queue`
would already wake a thread up, but the `flow_queue` was then ignored.
This has been updated to take the `flow_queue` into account.
In both cases a "capture timeout" packet is pushed through the pipeline
to "flush" the queues.
Bug: #4722.
When testing for fanout support a cluster-id of 1 was always being
used instead of the configured cluster-id. This limited fanout
support to only one Suricata instance.
Instead of hardcoding an ID of 1, use the configured cluster-id.
Also make cluster_id a uint16_t instead of an int in AFPThreadVars.

Semantically speaking it makes more sense, because it stores `msc`
files for dynamic image generation.
Updated files that refered to `img` accordingly, too.
- DNS sequence diagram was incorrect (transactions should be
unidirectional). After changing it, it made sense to rename the file.
Adjusted spacing, too. Updated transactions.rst accordingly.
- TLS sequence diagram was refined to illustrate how Suricata actually
implements the protocol.
