Martin Natano fe9cac5870 eve/alert: include rule text in alert output
For SIEM analysis it is often useful to refer to the actual rules to
find out why a specific alert has been triggered when the signature
message does not convey enough information.

Turn on the new rule flag to include the rule text in eve alert output.
The feature is turned off by default.

With a rule like this:

    alert dns $HOME_NET any -> 8.8.8.8 any (msg:"Google DNS server contacted"; sid:42;)

The eve alert output might look something like this (pretty-printed for
readability):

    {
      "timestamp": "2017-08-14T12:35:05.830812+0200",

Jason Ish ab939f4aaa doc: breakout eve-log section to a partial file
Both the suricata.yaml and eve configuration sections
included the eve-log section from suricata.yaml. First,
sync these up with the actual suricata.yaml then break
it out into its own file, so only one file needs to
be kept in sync with the actual configuration file.

Dana Helwig 3ab9120821 source-pcap-file: Pcap Directory Mode (Feature #2222)
https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/issues/2222

Pcap file mode that when passed a directory will process all files in
that directory. If --pcap-file-continuous or continuous option is passed
in json, the directory will be monitored  until the directory is
moved/deleted, suricata is interrupted, or the pcap-interrupt command
is used with unix command socket. Existing file implementation and new
directory implementation has moved from source-pcap-file into
pcap-file-helper and pcap-directory-helper.

Engine state will not reset between files.

Jason Ish 5c78fdbc9c doc: break out command line options into a common doc
The command line options can now be consumed by the man page
and the user guide.

Some attempt was made to order the options from common/basic
progressing to advanced with some notion of options
grouped together.
