Victor Julien 22f3205664 var-names: expose outside of detect engine
Until now variable names, such as flowbit names, were local to a detect
engine. This made sense as they were only ever used in that context.

For the purpose of logging these names, this needs a different approach.
The loggers live outside of the detect engine. Also, in the case of
reloads and multi-tenancy, there are even multiple detect engines, so
it would be even more tricky to access them from the outside.

This patch brings a new approach. A any time, there is a single active
hash table mapping the variable names and their id's. For multiple
tenants the table is shared between tenants.

The table is set up in a 'staging' area, where locking makes sure that
multiple loading threads don't mess things up. Then when the preparing
of a detection engine is ready, but before the detect threads are made
aware of the new detect engine, the active varname hash is swapped with
the staging instance.

For this to work, all the mappings from the 'current' or active mapping
are added to the staging table.

After the threads have reloaded and the new detection engine is active,
the old table can be freed.

For multi tenancy things are similar. The staging area is used for
setting up until the new detection engines / tenants are applied to
the system.

This patch also changes the variable 'id'/'idx' field to uint32_t. Due
to data structure padding and alignment, this should have no practical
drawback while allowing for a lot more vars.
