When compiling with clang and libc++ like done when using Google's
hongfuzz in the oss-fuzz setup, the following errors are produced:
Step #3 - "compile-honggfuzz-address-x86_64": /src/zeek/auxil/zeek-af_packet-plugin/src/RX_Ring.cc:19:9: error: no matching conversion for functional-style cast from 'const char[15]' to 'RX_RingException'

The problem can be reproduced outside of hongfuzz by compiling this
plugin with with clang/libc++:
export CXX=clang++-14
export CXXFLAGS=-stdlib=libc++
./configure
make
Include <string> in RX_Ring.h to ensure the required const char * to
std::string conversion are available to any users of RX_RingException.
On some older Linux distributions (CentOS 7), the if_packet.h header does
not yet include TP_STATUS_CSUM_VALID (introduced in March 2015). Simply
define it if it's not there.
This lowers the default timeout from 100msec to 10msec and increases the default
block_size from 16KB to 32KB. Both are aligned with what Suricata uses as defaults.
The block_size is likely too conservative for high-performance, tuning
guides recommend starting with 1MB block size.
Fixes#37.
There's been some wondering why kernel headers are required to compile
this plugin as it's not providing a kernel module or otherwise provides
functionality related to kernel APIs. AF_PACKET sockets are provided
through user-space APIs.
There may have been historical reasons, but let's move forward and
remove the dependency.
Fixes#29#24
The plugin mechanism automatically picks up the scripts folder for
plugin-related Zeek scripts. When a package's zkg.meta also declares the scripts
folder the location for package-level scripts, the scripts get installed
redundantly in two places. Zeek cannot recognize them as duplicates, triggering
various errors relating to double-defined symbols.
This moves the package-level scripts to a subdirectory with a placeholder. The
placeholder avoids the zkg install-time warning, whose original fix in e3aea1
introduced this problem.
