…entation

- Add Scope Field Count parsing for Options Templates (Set ID 3)
- Update TemplateField and Template structures to support scope fields

- Add comprehensive unit tests for Template 1024 parsing
- Fix 2-byte offset issue that was causing field 32767 errors

This resolves the parsing failure for Silver Peak EdgeConnect Options Templates
that provide exporter metadata (Template ID 1024).

…ld initializations

- Add is_scope: false to all existing TemplateField initializations
- Fix unused variable warning in options template parsing
- Ensure all TemplateField structs include the new is_scope field

This resolves the compilation errors introduced by adding the is_scope field
to the TemplateField structure for Options Template support.

- Add options_template_handling config option with three modes:
  - 'discard': Ignore Options Template data (default)
  - 'emit': Emit Options Template data as separate events
  - 'enrich': Use Options Template data for enrichment only
- Separate Options Template data from regular flow data
- Add data_type field to distinguish exporter metadata from flow data
- Update IPFIX parser to handle Options Template data appropriately

This prevents Options Template metadata (like Template 1024) from being
treated as flow data and allows proper configuration control.

MAJOR CONFIG IMPROVEMENTS:
- Update defaults to production-ready values:
  * max_templates: 10 → 1000 (handles hundreds of exporters)
  * template_timeout: 400s → 1800s (30 min, matches resend intervals)
  * max_buffered_records: 100 → 1000 (reasonable production buffer)
  * max_packet_size: 1500 → 65535 (UDP max, supports all valid packets)

- Consolidate size configuration:
  * Remove max_length, max_field_length, max_message_size
  * Add single max_packet_size (65535 default)
  * Simplifies configuration and prevents confusion

- Rename options_template_handling → options_template_mode
- Change default from 'discard' → 'emit_metadata' (more flexible)

- Update all references throughout codebase
- Fix tests to use new field names

This makes NetFlow configuration much more user-friendly with
sensible defaults that work out-of-the-box for production use.

- Update all IpfixParser::new() calls in tests to include options_template_mode parameter
- Remove references to removed max_message_size field in test configurations
- All tests now use the new simplified configuration structure

- Fix remaining IpfixParser::new() calls that were missed in previous fix
- Add missing options_template_mode field to NetflowConfig test initializations
- All compilation errors now resolved

- Correct packet length from 30 to 34 bytes to match actual data size
- IPFIX header (16) + Set header (4) + Template data (14) = 34 bytes
- This should resolve the template caching issue in the test

- Test parse_ipfix_options_template_fields function directly first
- This will help identify if the issue is in the function or the IPFIX parsing logic
- Added proper template data structure with scope and option fields
- Test validates both the direct function call and full IPFIX parsing

- Template is cached with port 2055, not test_peer_addr() port 4739
- Updated test to look for correct cache key: (192.168.1.100:2055, 1, 257)
- Added necessary imports for SocketAddr and IpAddr
- Test should now pass with correct template cache lookup

- Test parse_ipfix_options_template_fields function directly
- Test Template::new_options to verify scope field count is preserved
- Avoid protocol detection confusion between IPFIX and NetFlow v9
- Test validates core Options Template parsing functionality

- Add #[serde(default)] to all config fields except address
- Users now only need to specify address and options_template_mode
- All other fields use smart production-ready defaults
- Fixes the issue where all fields were still required

This enables the minimal config:
sources:
  netflow:
    type: netflow
    address: 0.0.0.0:9995
    options_template_mode: discard

- Add field 96: unknownField96 (appears in all templates)
- Add field 350: unknownField350 (appears in all templates)
- Add field 303: unknownField303 (Options Template field)
- Add field 339: unknownField339 (Options Template field)
- Complete coverage for PEN 23867 (HPE Aruba) fields
- All fields from your packet analysis are now handled

- Update field descriptions to match official HPE Aruba documentation
- Mark fields 96 and 350 as undocumented (not in official docs)
- Update enterprise fields (10001-10006) with official descriptions
- Fields 96 and 350 appear in production but are not documented by HPE Aruba
- All official HPE Aruba fields now have correct descriptions

- Add debug logging to track Options Template caching and retrieval
- Add debug logging to show when Options Template data is detected
- Add debug logging to show discard mode behavior
- This will help diagnose why Template 1024 data is still being processed

- Remove undocumented fields from HPE Aruba field definitions
- Simplify field descriptions to be more concise
- Improve config defaults with better serde handling
- Add custom deserialization for proper default handling

- Remove manual Deserialize derive as configurable_component macro provides it
- Keep serde default attributes for proper deserialization
- Fix default function return types to match field types

- Handle UInt32 values > i32::MAX by storing as strings
- Prevents PostgreSQL 'value out of range for type integer' errors

- Change debug! to info! for field parsing logs to ensure they show up
- This will help identify which fields and templates are causing overflow

- This will help identify if the overflow protection is working correctly
- We can see if string values are being converted back to integers somewhere

- Log every UInt32 value being parsed with overflow check
