Changes

• Added configuration options to control how often we export traffic to InfluxDB: influxdb_push_period

• Added support for Debian 11 and Ubuntu 22.04
• Deprecated PF_RING plugin for new versions. We switched to AF_PACKET which is completely open source and works way better
• Switched fastnetmon_client to use sort by mbits by default for consistency between editions
