Review flow conversation directionality

Description

In the current implementation, we use the "initiator" field as to determine the direction of a flow in a conversation.

This can be inaccurate since the initiator field strictly uses the src and dst port numbers to attempt to identify the client and server.

Instead, we should use the values of the "direction" field (ingress vs egress) to define the direction for conversations, using the same approach as with applications.
