Initial rework of packet filter framework.

- Large rework on packet filter framework to make many things easier.
   - Removed the PacketFilter::all_packets variable because it was confusing.
   - New variable (PacketFilter::enable_auto_protocol_capture_filters) to re-enable the old filtering model of only sniffing ports for analyzed protocols.
   - In progress plugin model for adding filtering mechanisms.
   - New default single item for capture_filters = { ["default"] = PacketFilter::default_capture_filter };
   - Mechanism and helper functions to "shunt" traffic with filters.

- Created the Protocols framework to assist with reworking how base protocol scripts are registered with DPD and other things.
   - Protocols framework creates BPF filters for registered analyzers. (if using PacketFilter framework in that mode).
