RC1 test patch

This is a *work in progress* for interested parties. It is not ready to be
committed.

Recent events in the FreeBSD ports committer community surrounding a previous
Suricata submission and just recently a C-ICAP encounter, I feel forced to
document this work on the upcoming Suricata version 4.1 so that it's perfectly
clear where the contribution originated from.

Individual work excluding testing took place in OPNsense in these commits:

https://github.com/opnsense/ports/commit/e59b0d3c
https://github.com/opnsense/ports/commit/22e295b2
https://github.com/opnsense/ports/commit/44156306

The rework includes a few things:

* Stop using libhtp port over security concerns that make updates risky. libhtp
port is not used by any other port other than Suricata.
* Add RUST option for experimental protocol decoders.
* Rules files now install directly into %%DATADIR%%
