Jeff Lucovsky c717cc1e9b doc/pcre: note that flow captures need a flow
Add a note to the pcre extraction section stating that a flow: capture
is dropped when the packet is inspected without a flow, and that such a
packet still alerts.

ICMPv4 error messages are one way to get such a packet: FlowCreateCheck
returns false for them, while DecodeICMPV4 has already set p->payload,
so they reach the detection engine with something to inspect and nowhere
to store a flow variable. A packet the flow engine could not give a flow
to once the memcap was reached and no used flow could be reclaimed is
the other.

The pkt: and alert: scopes described in the same section are unaffected,
because a packet variable is stored on the packet and an alert variable
on the alert.
