This commit add (optional) support for Link-Time-Optimization and Gold
linker.
This is the first, mandatory step needed to make nDPI compliant with
"introspector" sanitizer requirements in OSS-Fuzz: see
https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/issues/8939
Gold linker is not supported by Windows and by macOS, so this feature is
disabled by default. It has been enable in CI in two linux targets
("latest" gcc and clang).
Fix some warnings triggered by LTO.
The changes in `src/lib/ndpi_serializer.c` seams reasonable.
However, the change in `tests/unit/unit.c` is due to the following
warning, which seems to be a false positive.
```
unit.c: In function ‘serializerUnitTest’:
ndpi_serializer.c:2258:13: error: ‘MEM[(struct ndpi_private_serializer *)&deserializer].buffer.size’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
unit.c:67:31: note: ‘MEM[(struct ndpi_private_serializer *)&deserializer].buffer.size’ was declared here
67 | ndpi_serializer serializer, deserializer;
| ^
ndpi_serializer.c:2605:10: error: ‘MEM[(struct ndpi_private_serializer *)&deserializer].status.buffer.size_used’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
unit.c:67:31: note: ‘MEM[(struct ndpi_private_serializer *)&deserializer].status.buffer.size_used’ was declared here
67 | ndpi_serializer serializer, deserializer;
```
Since this warning is triggered only with an old version of gcc and
`tests/unit/unit.c` is used only during the tests, the easiest fix has
been applied.
Some (unknown to me) combinations of OS and compiler trigger the
following warnings at linker time (with sanitizer and gold linker)
```
/usr/bin/ld.gold: warning: Cannot export local symbol '__asan_report_load1_asm'
/usr/bin/ld.gold: warning: Cannot export local symbol '__asan_report_load2_asm'

I have not found any references to this kind of message, with the only
exception of https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25975
which seems to suggest that these messages can be safely ignored.
In any case, the compilation results are sound.
Fix `clean` target in the Makefile in the `example` directory.
In OSS-Fuzz enviroments, `fuzz_ndpi_reader` reports a strange link error
(as always, when the gold linker is involved...).
It's come out that the culprit was the `tempnam` function: the code has
been changed to use `tmpfile` instead. No sure why... :(
Fuzzing target `fuzz_ndpi_reader.c` doesn't use `libndpiReader.a`
anymore: this way we can use `--with-only-libndpi` flag on Oss-Fuzz builds
as workaround for the "missing dependencies errors" described in
https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/issues/8939

* build: properly detect AR, CC, RANLIB
It's necessary to be able to override choice of AR/CC/RANLIB and other toolchain
variables/tools for cross-compilation, testing with other toolchains, and
to ensure the compiler chosen by the user is actually used for the build.
Previously, GNU_PREFIX was kind-of used for this but this isn't a standard
variable (at all) and it wasn't applied consistently anyway.
We now use the standard autoconf mechanisms for finding these tools.
(RANLIB is already covered by LT_INIT.)

* build: use $(MAKE)
This ensures that parallel make works correctly, as otherwise, a fresh
make job will be started without the jobserver fd, and hence
not know about its parent, forcing -j1.
* build: respect CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS
- CPPFLAGS is for the C preprocessor (usually for setting defines)
- LDFLAGS should be placed before objects for certain flags to work
(e.g. -Wl,--as-needed)

To support QUIC payload and header decryption, it is necessary to choose an
external crypto library to handle the low-level crypto stuff. Since we will
use some Wireshark code, it is quite natural to choose the same library used
by Wireshark itself: libgcrypt.
More precisely, we will use libgcrypt and libgpg-error.
Both libraries have LGPL license, so there should be no issue from this point
of view.
These libraries are not required to build nDPI, and their usage is optional:
nDPI will keep working (and compiling) even if they are not available.
However, without them, QUIC sub-classification is next to impossible.
The configure flag "--disable-gcrypt" forces the build system to ignore these
libraries.
libgpg-error is only used for debug to have meaningful error messages and its
usage is trivial.
The same cannot be said for libgcrypt because its initialization is a significant
issue.
The rest of this commit message try explaining how libgcrypt is
initialized.
According to the documentation
https://gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gcrypt/Initializing-the-library.htmlhttps://gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gcrypt/Multi_002dThreading.html#Multi_002dThreading
libgcrypt must be initialized before using it, but such initialization should
be performed by the actual application and not by any library.
Forcing the users to proper initialize libgcrypt in their own code seems
unreasonable: most people using nDPI might be complete unaware of any crypto
stuff and update each and every one application linking to nDPI with specific
libgcrypt code should be out of question, anyway.
Fortunately, it seems a workaround exists to initialize libgcrypt in a library
https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gcrypt-devel/2003-August/000458.html
Therefore, we could provide a wrapper to this initialization stuff in a nDPI
function. Unfortunately nDPI API lacks a global init function that must be
called only once, before any other functions. We could add it, but that would
be a major API break.
AFAIK, ndpi_init_detection_module() might be called multiple times, for example
to create multiple independent dpi engines in the same program.
The proposed solution is to (optionally) initialize libgcrypt in
ndpi_init_detection_module() anyway:
* if the actual application doesn't directly use libgcrypt and only calls
ndpi_init_detection_module() once, everything is formally correct and it
should work out of the box [by far the most common user case];
* if the actual application already uses libgcrypt directly, it already
performs the required initialization. In this case the ndpi_prefs.ndpi_dont_init_libgcrypt
flag should be passed to ndpi_init_detection_module() to avoid further
initializations.
The only scenario not supported by this solution is when the application is
unaware of libgcrypt and calls ndpi_init_detection_module() multiple times
concurrently. But this scenario should be uncommon.
A completely different option should be to switch to another crypto library,
with a huge impact on the QUIC dissector code.
Bottom line: crypto is hard, using libgcrypt is complex and the proposed
initialization, even if not perfect, should cover the most frequent user
cases and should work, for the time being.
If anyone has some suggestions...
