Description

The YAML spec states that the "~" character represents a null value. For example

logging:
  default-log-level: ~

This should be interpreted the same as:

logging:
  default-log-level:

However, it's interpreted as a literal value, not null, by the Suricata YAML parsing logic in Suricata.
