* drivers/octeontx2: remove octeontx2 drivers
In the view of enabling unified driver for ``octeontx2(cn9k)``/``octeontx3(cn10k)``,
removing ``drivers/octeontx2`` drivers and replace with ``drivers/cnxk/`` which
supports both ``octeontx2(cn9k)`` and ``octeontx3(cn10k)`` SoCs.
This deprecation notice is to do following actions in DPDK v22.02 version.
#. Replace ``drivers/common/octeontx2/`` with ``drivers/common/cnxk/``
#. Replace ``drivers/mempool/octeontx2/`` with ``drivers/mempool/cnxk/``
#. Replace ``drivers/net/octeontx2/`` with ``drivers/net/cnxk/``
#. Replace ``drivers/event/octeontx2/`` with ``drivers/event/cnxk/``
#. Replace ``drivers/crypto/octeontx2/`` with ``drivers/crypto/cnxk/``
#. Rename ``drivers/regex/octeontx2/`` as ``drivers/regex/cn9k/``
#. Rename ``config/arm/arm64_octeontx2_linux_gcc`` as ``config/arm/arm64_cn9k_linux_gcc``
Last two actions are to align naming convention as cnxk scheme.
