Basically:
* "classification by-ip" (i.e. `flow->guessed_protocol_id_by_ip` is
NEVER returned in the protocol stack (i.e.
`flow->detected_protocol_stack[]`);
* if the application is interested into such information, it can access
`ndpi_protocol->protocol_by_ip` itself.
There are mainly 4 points in the code that set the "classification
by-ip" in the protocol stack: the generic `ndpi_set_detected_protocol()`/
`ndpi_detection_giveup()` functions and the HTTP/STUN dissectors.
In the unit tests output, a print about `ndpi_protocol->protocol_by_ip`
has been added for each flow: the huge diff of this commit is mainly due
to that.
Strictly speaking, this change is NOT an API/ABI breakage, but there are
important differences in the classification results. For examples:
* TLS flows without the initial handshake (or without a matching
SNI/certificate) are simply classified as `TLS`;
* similar for HTTP or QUIC flows;
* DNS flows without a matching request domain are simply classified as
`DNS`; we don't have `DNS/Google` anymore just because the server is
8.8.8.8 (that was an outrageous behaviour...);
* flows previusoly classified only "by-ip" are now classified as
`NDPI_PROTOCOL_UNKNOWN`.
See #1425 for other examples of why adding the "classification by-ip" in
the protocol stack is a bad idea.
Please, note that IPV6 is not supported :( (long standing issue in nDPI) i.e.
`ndpi_protocol->protocol_by_ip` wil be always `NDPI_PROTOCOL_UNKNOWN` for
IPv6 flows.
Define `NDPI_CONFIDENCE_MATCH_BY_IP` has been removed.

The host automa is used for two tasks:
* protocol sub-classification (obviously);
* DGA evaluation: the idea is that if a domain is present in this
automa, it can't be a DGA, regardless of its format/name.
In most dissectors both checks are executed, i.e. the code is something
like:
```
ndpi_match_host_subprotocol(..., flow->host_server_name, ...);
ndpi_check_dga_name(..., flow->host_server_name,...);
```
In that common case, we can perform only one automa lookup: if we check the
sub-classification before the DGA, we can avoid the second lookup in
the DGA function itself.
Add (basic) internal stats to the main data structures used by the
library; they might be usefull to check how effective these structures
are.
Add an option to `ndpiReader` to dump them; enabled by default in the
unit tests.
This new option enables/disables dumping of "num dissectors calls"
values, too (see b4cb14ec).
GCC analyzer won't complain about possible use-after-free (false positive).

As a general rule, the higher the confidence value, the higher the
"reliability/precision" of the classification.
In other words, this new field provides an hint about "how" the flow
classification has been obtained.
For example, the application may want to ignore classification "by-port"
(they are not real DPI classifications, after all) or give a second
glance at flows classified via LRU caches (because of false positives).
Setting only one value for the confidence field is a bit tricky: more
work is probably needed in the next future to tweak/fix/improve the logic.
We should avoid updating any valid protocol in `ndpi_detection_giveup`; we
should try to find a proper classification only if the flow is still
completely unclassified.
For example in the attached pcap there is a valid TLS session, recognized
as such by TLS dissector. However, the `ndpi_detection_giveup`function
updates it to "HTTP/TLS" (!?) simply because the server port is 80.
Note that the real issue is not the wrong classification, but the
wrong access to `flow->protos` union. If we already set some fields of
`flow->protos` and we change the protocol in `ndpi_detection_giveup`, we
might end up freeing some invalid pointers in `ndpi_free_flow_data`
(no wonder this issue has been found while fuzzing #1354)
Fix GIT and TLS dissectors (issues found by CI fuzzer)
`ndpi_detection_giveup()` (and any functions called by it) can't access
`ndpi_detection_module_struct->packet` anymore since 730c236.

The goal is to have a (roughly) idea about how many packets nDPI needs
to properly classify a flow.
Log this information (and guessed flows number too) during unit tests,
to keep track of improvements/regressions across commits.
