Compile/build for Windows.

[suricatalfon]

Simply add support for use with Windows. Or how we can compile for Windows.

Thank you.

I need to take a look how things are looking with eBPF on Windows, because I think that would be the only feasible way of implementing that feature if we ever decide to do that. That said, I'm not convinced that we should do it now, unless someone wants to contribute or more people request that. @sandman137 WDYT?

There is WinPcap (https://github.com/wireshark/winpcap), the library that Wireshark is using, but it's ancient and we would need to wrap it with cgo somewhow - I think that would be a bad idea.

We decided to use libpcap API as the standard to ensure this works across linux (vms, k8s and fargate) and windows. Interested users can always use the community version of npcap which is API compatible with winpcap (basically pcap api). @mukuldeepfence @shyam-dev

@shyam-dev can you please look at this and close it? All we need to do is provide build instructions for windows.

Any build instructions for windows published ?
Thanks
