E2guardian V5.5.3 pre-release

This is the pre-release version v5.5.3pre

Why revert to pre-release? This is due to some fairly major changes to list handling and search code in order to fix possible 'hanging' pointer issue on list search returns (see issue #768)

Also, a number of bug-fixes applied (see ChangeLog for details.)

Please test and report any issues. Once any issues are resolved will issue as stable

New features (From v5.5.2)

• UDP logging option added (based on code/idea by KDG)
• Add SEMI-TRUSTED flag to logs
• Add kiddle search terms extractor #739 refers
• Add storyboarding, list definitions, message for TLD allowed
  as suggested by Dalacor #733.
  Note I have used allowedtldlist rather than exceptiontld. Exceptions
  generally override everything but this list is used in blanketblock and
  so will be overridden by exception site urls etc.
• Log rotation (see https://github.com/e2guardian/e2guardian/blob/v5.5.dev/notes/rotating_logs)
• New Logger/Debug integrated from coding by KDGundermann (see https://github.com/e2guardian/e2guardian/blob/v5.5/notes/HOWTO_Logger.md)
• IO (normal and MITM ssl) rewritten
  • timeouts now honored when in MITM mode
  • faster throughput - less io system calls
  • double-buffered duplex tunneling
• Removal of support for pre v1.1 OpenSSL versions
• Secure TLS proxy option added
• Semi-exception lists and logic added - allows reverse logic for selected sites - i.e. Trust a site - but block some urls within site.
• Alert log option - can be used to email alerts/reports etc
• Response log option which logs all responses
• New storyboard flag ( alert ) and states added ( categoryin )
• New list type categorylist added
• Much code tidying

Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to this version, especially to Kurt for the new Logger code - it makes debugging and testing so much easier!
