Description

When adding to the alert events the protocol buffer, we provide valuable information but logging all of them will cause a serious increase in event size. So we should only log the triggering buffers.

Jason Ish is proposing the following (https://github.com/inliniac/suricata/pull/2663#issuecomment-293952371)

{
    "timestamp": ...
    "alert": ...
    "buffers": [
        {
            "name": "http_response_body",
            "data": "....",
            "data-printable": "...",
        },
        {
        ....
