Description

Currently if the syntax of a rule keyword is wrong we print just a pcre error most of the times.

It would be good to have a string per keyword that is displayed on error.

Format:

threshold: type <threshold|limit|both>, track <by_src|by_dst>, count <N>, seconds <T>

It looks like the last discussion that was had around this was in https://github.com/OISF/suricata/pull/4251. Are there any update thoughts or ideas around this? I was going to take another look at this but wanted to see if anyone else had or was.

Side-note: We want to move away from pcre for keywords, and we still need meaningful error messages
