Jason Ish 2ec3381600 rust/app-layer: macros to export de_state functions
These macros generate the extern "C" functions for transactions
structs that need provide functions for setting and getting
the de_state. The idea is to provide macros do avoid code
duplication and make it simpler to create an app-layer.

A trait would be the correct solution, but it doesn't look like
you can use traits to export extern "C" functions.

Victor Julien e96d9c1159 app-layer: add tx iterator API
Until now, the transaction space is assumed to be terse. Transactions
are handled sequentially so the difference between the lowest and highest
active tx id's is small. For this reason the logic of walking every id
between the 'minimum' and max id made sense. The space might look like:

    [..........TTTT]

Here the looping starts at the first T and loops 4 times.

This assumption isn't a great fit though. A protocol like NFS has 2 types
of transactions. Long running file transfer transactions and short lived
request/reply pairs are causing the id space to be sparse. This leads to
a lot of unnecessary looping in various parts of the engine, but most
prominently: detection, tx house keeping and tx logging.

    [.T..T...TTTT.T]

Here the looping starts at the first T and loops for every spot, even
those where no tx exists anymore.

Cases have been observed where the lowest tx id was 2 and the highest
was 50k. This lead to a lot of unnecessary looping.

This patch add an alternative approach. It allows a protocol to register
an iterator function, that simply returns the next transaction until
all transactions are returned. To do this it uses a bit of state the
caller must keep.

The registration is optional. If no iterator is registered the old
behaviour will be used.

Victor Julien bca0cd71ae app-layer: use logger bits to avoid looping
Avoid looping in transaction output.

Update app-layer API to store the bits in one step
and retrieve the bits in a single step as well.

Update users of the API.
