Deprecate snort in favor of snort3

OpenWrt provides two snort packages: snort and snort3. Now that snort3 is
out of beta, I would like to consider deprecating the snort package. One
difficulty of maintaining both packages is that a different version of
the libdaq package is required for each. The two versions cannot coexist,
and this make build-server builds fail.

I do not know how popular the snort package is. I use snort3.

Is dropping snort advisable? If so, what is the procedure?
