Vincent Li 8b29912521 suricata-xdp: resolve memlock and stack smashing
suricata XDP support requires xdp-tools with
libbpf 1.4 to resolve stack smash issue.

also workaround memlock operation not permitted
by running suricata as root since load/attach
XDP program requires root privilige anyway.

see: https://github.com/vincentmli/BPFire/issues/54

Usage scenario:

since suricata IPS XDP capture mode works as
layer 2 bridge, BPFire netfilter firewall, NAT
IP route  will be bypassed. no IP address should
be assigned to red0 and green0 interface.

172.16.1.0/24          inline              172.16.1.0/24
red network<-->red0(xdp)<-->green0(xdp)<-->green network

we can run setup command to assign IP/Mask 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
to red0 and green0, then reboot BPFire, BPFire DHCP
will stops working after reboot. green network client
can get DHCP IP from upstream dhcp server.

start suricata manually

suricata -c /etc/suricata/suricata-xdp.yaml --af-packet
xdp_filter.bpf program will be attached to red0 and gree0
interface

not sure if we should add GUI for suricata XDP capture mode
since this is not common use case.
