Lets migrate capturing to TPACKET_V3, since it will bring a better
performance due to fewer page cache misses caused by a higher density
of packets, since now they are contigous placed in the ring buffer.
It is said that TPACKET_V3 brings the following benefits:
*) ~15 - 20% reduction in CPU-usage
*) ~20% increase in packet capture rate
*) ~2x increase in packet density
*) Port aggregation analysis
*) Non static frame size to capture entire packet payload

Allow to define custom compile flags, e.g. ...
make CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall"
... and also allow to overwrite ccache variable:
make CCACHE= all
Also do some minor fixes when built with -O2 -Wall.

We can just replace int with uin32_t, that's no problem. Also
fix one case where we moved to uint16_t.

With commit [1] in the kernel, we can also store the timestamp
source in the pcap packet header for later analysis. We do this
by splitting the netsniff-ng's u32 ifindex into u16 tsource and
u16 ifindex. Older kernel do not support the timestamp source in
PF_PACKET, so it will stay 0 and is compatible with older
netsniff-ng binaries.

When using netsniff-ng with dropping priviledges, we have to introduce
another pcap helper function that is called once before we drop the
priviledges. In this function we have to invoke the disc I/O scheduler
policy, because it needs priviledges. Otherwise netsniff-ng will fail
with "Failed to set io prio for pid" on startup, since we're not root
anymore.

We decided to get rid of the old Git history and start a new one for
several reasons:
*) Allow / enforce only high-quality commits (which was not the case
for many commits in the history), have a policy that is more close
to the one from the Linux kernel. With high quality commits, we
mean code that is logically split into commits and commit messages
that are signed-off and have a proper subject and message body.
We do not allow automatic Github merges anymore, since they are
total bullshit. However, we will either cherry-pick your patches
or pull them manually.
*) The old archive was about ~27MB for no particular good reason.
This basically derived from the bad decision that also some PDF
files where stored there. From this moment onwards, no binary
objects are allowed to be stored in this repository anymore.
The old archive is not wiped away from the Internet. You will still
be able to find it, e.g. on git.cryptoism.org etc.
