The BPF_STREAM_PARSER config was originally added because we need
the STREAM_PARSER define and wanted a way to get the 'depends on'
lines in Kconfig correct.

Rather than rename this, lets reduce its scope to just the set
of actions that need the STREAM_PARSER, this should be just the
stream parser programs. We probably should have done this sooner,
but doing it now will be fine.

I can probably draft a quick patch tomorrow if above is not clear.
It can go into bpf-next outside this series as well to reduce
the 19 patches a bit.

Thanks,
John
