[PATCH] Suricata: drop unused cuda HW acceleration

[PATCH] Suricata: drop unused cuda HW acceleration

[Peter Müller]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2442 bytes --]

As stated in https://bugzilla.ipfire.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11808#c5 ,
Cuda hardware acceleration is unused and so the configuration file
section can be removed.

This partially addresses #11808.
