Limits propegation checked for DETECT_DEPTH as a content flag,
which appears to have worked by chance. After reshuffling the
keyword id's it no longer worked. This patch uses the proper
flag DETECT_CONTENT_DEPTH.
Traffic variables (flowvars, flowbits, xbits, etc) use a smaller int for
their type than detection types. As a workaround make sure the values fit
in a uint8_t.
Add support for 'by_flow' track option. This allows using the various
threshold options in the context of a single flow.
Example:
alert tcp ... stream-event:pkt_broken_ack; \
threshold:type limit, track by_flow, count 1, seconds 3600;
The example would limit the number of alerts to once per hour for
packets triggering the 'pkt_broken_ack' stream event.
Implemented as a special "flowvar" holding the threshold entries. This
means no synchronization is required, making this a cheaper option
compared to the other trackers.

To avoid ambiguity, a single definition for base 64 decoding modes will
be used. The Rust base64 transform contains the definitions for the
existing mode types: Strict, RFC2045, RFC4648
Issue: 6487
Implement the from_base64 transform:
[bytes value] [offset value] [mode strict|rfc4648|rfc2045]
The value for bytes and offset may be a byte_ variable or an
unsigned integer.

This can happen with keyword filestore:both,flow
If one direction does not have a signature group with a filestore,
the file is set to nostore on opening, until a signature in
the other direction tries to set it to store.
Subsequent files will be stored in both directions as flow flags
are now set.
Add an argument to the packet prefilter registration function to include
`SignatureMask` flags. This will be used at runtime to only call these
prefilter engines when the mask check passes.
If a signature uses a condition that requires a real packet, filter
out pseudo packets as early as possible. To do this, the SignatureMask
logic is used.
This allows for the removal of checks for pseudo packets in individual
keywords `Match` functions, which will be done in a follow up commit.
Update analyzer to output the new flag.
