Intel killed Hyperscan

[seed]

Hyperscan as Regex patternmatcher is important for Suricate. Firewalls with CPUs with AVX benefit from this performance gain.

Now Intel makes hyperscan proprietary. I guess this will harm suricata performance on opnsense systems in the future.

[seed]

Due to licensing changes beginning with Hyperscan 5.5[0] to a
proprietary/closed license and general lack of support for the 5.4.x
branch I will be retiring Hyperscan from rawhide.

The intent is to replace the hyperscan package with the vectorscan[1]
package that is currently in the last stages of review[2].
