P2P video player PPStream was discontinued shortly after the purchase of PPS.tv by Baidu (iQIYI) on 2013 (see https://www.techinasia.com/report-baidu-acquires-video-rival-pps)
So we remove the old `NDPI_PROTOCOL_PPSTREAM` logic and add `NDPI_PROTOCOL_IQIYI` id to handle all the iQIYI traffic, which is basically video streaming traffic.
A video hosting service, called PPS.tv, is still offered by the same company: for the time being we classified both services with the same protocol id.
* Added
size_t ndpi_compress_str(const char * in, size_t len, char * out, size_t bufsize);
size_t ndpi_decompress_str(const char * in, size_t len, char * out, size_t bufsize);

long time, now. Long gone are the days of Skype as a distribuited
protocol.

Add the concept of "global context".
Right now every instance of `struct ndpi_detection_module_struct` (we
will call it "local context" in this description) is completely
independent from each other. This provide optimal performances in
multithreaded environment, where we pin each local context to a thread,
and each thread to a specific CPU core: we don't have any data shared
across the cores.
Each local context has, internally, also some information correlating
**different** flows; something like:
```
if flow1 (PeerA <-> Peer B) is PROTOCOL_X; then
flow2 (PeerC <-> PeerD) will be PROTOCOL_Y
```
To get optimal classification results, both flow1 and flow2 must be
processed by the same local context. This is not an issue at all in the far
most common scenario where there is only one local context, but it might
be impractical in some more complex scenarios.
Create the concept of "global context": multiple local contexts can use
the same global context and share some data (structures) using it.
This way the data correlating multiple flows can be read/write from
different local contexts.
This is an optional feature, disabled by default.
Obviously data structures shared in a global context must be thread safe.
This PR updates the code of the LRU implementation to be, optionally,
thread safe.
Right now, only the LRU caches can be shared; the other main structures
(trees and automas) are basically read-only: there is little sense in
sharing them. Furthermore, these structures don't have any information
correlating multiple flows.
Every LRU cache can be shared, independently from the others, via
`ndpi_set_config(ndpi_struct, NULL, "lru.$CACHE_NAME.scope", "1")`.
It's up to the user to find the right trade-off between performances
(i.e. without shared data) and classification results (i.e. with some
shared data among the local contexts), depending on the specific traffic
patterns and on the algorithms used to balance the flows across the
threads/cores/local contexts.
Add some basic examples of library initialization in
`doc/library_initialization.md`.
This code needs libpthread as external dependency. It shouldn't be a big
issue; however a configure flag has been added to disable global context
support. A new CI job has been added to test it.
TODO: we should need to find a proper way to add some tests on
multithreaded enviroment... not an easy task...
*** API changes ***
If you are not interested in this feature, simply add a NULL parameter to
any `ndpi_init_detection_module()` calls.
- ndpi_load_domain_suffixes()
- ndpi_get_host_domain_suffix()
whose goal is to find the domain name of a hostname. Example:
www.bbc.co.uk -> co.uk
mail.apple.com -> com
