Description

It comes from f723dc1309a793f6fbcf81d6507fe946b4caa04a :

The idea with a flag to disable hashing is to provide a way to

get the effect of building Suricata without libnss, which is
sometimes done for performance reasons.

We do not have nss anymore...

The only other occurrence of nss I find in the code is in util-file.h comment about includes and rust

Also disable-hashing is incomplete : hassh, quic cyu, datasets and more use hashes and are not disabled by the option

Ticket should probably be updated to make sure --disable-hashing is respected.

@Victor Julien Any thoughts on keeping this flag around and why?
