Description

For example, when running one of the library example applications, you still see:

Notice: suricata: This is Suricata version 9.0.0-dev (8aaf92bb04 2025-11-11) running in SYSTEM mode [LogVersion:suricata.c:1209]

It's not really Suricata anymore, but a derivative of it.

We need a way to customize this output, or refactor it such that it is output by the application, and not the library (does bring up the bigger question of how a library should log as well).
