Victor Julien a492d94826 detect/frames: implement 'frame' keyword
Implement a special sticky buffer to select frames for inspection.

This keyword takes an argument to specify the per protocol frame type:

    alert <app proto name> ... frame:<specific frame name>

Or it can specify both in the keyword:

    alert tcp ... frame:<app proto name>.<specific frame name>

The latter is useful in some cases like http, where "http" applies to
both HTTP and HTTP/2.

    alert http ... frame:http1.request;
    alert http1 ... frame:request;

Examples:

    tls.pdu
    smb.smb2.hdr
    smb.smb3.data

Consider a rule like:

    alert tcp ... flow:to_server; content:"|ff|SMB"; content:"some smb 1 issue";

this will scan all toserver TCP traffic, where it will only be limited by a port,
depending on how rules are grouped.

With this work we'll be able to do:

    alert smb ... flow:to_server; frame:smb1.data; content:"some smb 1 issue";

This rule will only inspect the data portion of SMB1 frames. It will not affect
any other protocol, and it won't need special patterns to "search" for the
SMB1 frame in the raw stream.
