Description

The SCTIME_* macros may need some review.

Napatech's PR https://github.com/OISF/suricata/pull/9833 fixes SCTIME_ADD_USECS(), however there are other issues. Currently the SCTIME_ADD_SECS(ts, s) macro adds s seconds to ts.secs and clears ts.usecs.

I would argue that SCTIME_ADD_SECS(ts, s) should return ts.usecs unmodified, otherwise one integer second is not added to ts.

E.g. currently ts.secs = 10, ts.usecs = 999999, s = 1, results in ts.secs = 11, ts.usecs = 0. Only 1 microsecond is added to ts.

This bug could affect various time related operations such as fragment reassembly, detection engine thresholds etc.
