Recent update adds InfluxDB support and newer DPDK stack

Wanguard 7.2 brings the following new features and changes:

Adds support for storing graph data in InfluxDB, as an alternative to using RRD files. InfluxDB is the storage engine that we recommend for the following reasons:
- Adding and deleting decoders for IP graphs does not reset the existing data
- It enables High Availability setups with graph data stored on redundant, remote InfluxDB servers
- It is much more space efficient in most configurations
- Is compatible with our own rendering engine which generates better-looking graphs
- It allows an easy integration with other third-party products such as Grafana
- RRDTool support might be deprecated in the future
Adds support for Debian 10
Adds many visual improvements to the "Flat" theme
Adds support for DPDK 18.11.02
The installation scripts use by default a text-based user interface which can be disabled with the "cli" parameter
In Reports the Time Frame selector was moved to the right, next to the Refresh selector
Many other minor improvements and bugfixes
