Description

Upon the first pcap being submitted in socket mode, an error is logged

18/12/2020 -- 02:53:49 - <Error> - [ERRCODE: SC_ERR_CONF_YAML_ERROR(242)] - only one 'anomaly' logger can be enabled

This is producible with the default configuration (with minor adjustments to account for default paths)

1. Start suricata in socket mode without Demonizing

suricata -c /tmp/socket_anomaly_error/suricata.yaml -k none -vvvv --runmode single --unix-socket=/tmp/socket_anomaly_error/suricata.sock

2. After suricata is started, use suricatasc to send the pcap

suricatasc -c "pcap-file /tmp/socket_anomaly_error/test.pcap  /tmp/socket_anomaly_error/output_logs" /tmp/socket_anomaly_error/suricata.sock 

3. Observe the error being reported by Suricata

This is observed in 5.0.5, 6.0.1 and 7.0.0-dev (372fc2673 2020-12-11), but not 5.0.4, 6.0.0.

I believe this is in relation to PR#5258 https://github.com/OISF/suricata/pull/5258/commits/c42574169e0b3e4bca396493b21f0208ee1bc759
