Title: nfq: implement "fail-open" support.

This patch is the second version and contains modifications made following initial comments.

On linux >= 3.6, you can use the fail-open option on a NFQ queue
to have the kernel accept the packet if userspace is not able to keep
pace.

Please note that the kernel will not trigger an error if the feature is activated
in userspace libraries but not available in kernel.

This patch implements the option for suricata by adding a nfq.fail-open
configuration variable which is desactivated by default.
