Description

Currently a rule that should accept and log, should do something like

accept:packet ... (alert; ...)

It would be clearer if the actions are grouped together in the "action" field.

E.g. something like

accept,log:packet

Some other options:
{accept,log}:packet
accept:flow,log:packet
(accept|alert):packet

Not sure which syntax makes most sense. One thing to consider is if an action like accept is applied to the flow, should alert (or log) also be applied to the flow? Or just trigger once?

This could turn the ideas of accept:pass_flow into a bit cleaner solution, I think. accept,pass:flow would apply accept and pass to the flow. This would keep actions and scope more cleanly defined.

https://github.com/OISF/suricata/pull/15300 implements the list approach:

accept:flow,pass:flow,alert
accept:flow,alert

Still to do: more testing and the same for the packet filter table.
