Batch submission of PCAPs over the socket

Description

Currently, it is only possible to send a single PCAP file to the socket. A method to send a list of (pcap, output-dir)-combinations would be very helpful to reduce the amount of messages of the socket.

How do you think such a combination should look like? Or do you just want to use -r /tmp/foobar instead of -r /tmp/foobar/1.pcap, -r /tmp/foobar/2.pcap and so on?

I'm thinking more like providing a list of pcaps through the socket, e.g. s.send_command("pcap-files", {"filenames": ["1.pcap","2.pcap"], "output-dirs": ["/1", "/2"]})

Multiple output-dirs is something that is needed as long as issue #1386 is not resolved.

Ralph, that PR allows a directory to be specified with multiple files, but suricata state will not be reset between files, and files will be processed in order of modified time.

If you want reset between files with separate output directory, I can do another PR. Looking at a format of

{
  "command" : "pcap-files",
  "arguments" : {
    "files" : [
      {
        "filename" : "path-to-file",
        "output-dir" : "path-to-output-directory" 
      },
      ...
      ]
  }
}
