http: leading gap in request data leads to invalid next request

Description

If there is a leading gap, the next request can get affected. E.g.

[ gap masking request line etc ]xxxxxPOST <rest of request>

In this case the method is parsed as xxxxxPOST.

The parser knows if there is a leading GAP, so we should probably look for the start of the next request using a scan with the patterns used by the protocol detection.

So, I notice that libhtp returns HTP_STREAM_CLOSED on leading gap in request, but Suricata only handles HTP_STREAM_ERROR and otherwise defaults to ok

There also seems to be a bug in tcp reassembly : htp_connp_req_data receives
- a gap of 1460 bytes
- data with 1460
- a gap of 177 bytes !!! (we have the data)

So, answer was missing --set vlan.use-for-tracking=false

Status : issue mas misled in the sense that the pcap was supposed to be run with --set vlan.use-for-tracking=false

Now, is should have been unsupported to have leading gaps for HTTP1
But there was a misunderstanding between libhtp returning HTP_STREAM_CLOSED and Suricata matching it as not HTP_STREAM_ERROR

The libhtp PR cleans that a bit.
I wonder if we want it at all, or if we want to push back the target version.
