    Counters: fix delayed-detect counter registration

    Make sure we register the detect.alerts counter before packet runtime starts
    even in delayed detect mode. The registration of new counters at packet
    runtime is not supported by the counters api and might lead to crashes as there
    is no proper locking to allow for this operation.

    This changes how delayed detect works a bit. Now we call the ThreadInit
    callback twice. The first call will only register the counter. The 2nd call
    will do all the other setup. This way the counter is registered before the
    counters api starts operating in the packet runtime.

    Fixes the segv reported in ticket #1018.
