config: enable nfp driver on Linux

Browse Source 
Because using a NFP PMD requires specific BSP installed, the PMD
support was not the default option before. This was just for making
people aware of such dependency, since there is no need for such a
BSP for just compiling DPDK with NFP PMD support.

---------------------
Netronome's PMD code is provided in the **drivers/net/nfp** directory.
Because Netronome´s BSP dependencies the driver is disabled by default
in DPDK build using **common_linuxapp configuration** file. Enabling the
driver or if you use another configuration file and want to have NFP
support, this variable is needed:
Although NFP PMD has Netronome´s BSP dependencies, it is possible to
compile it along with other DPDK PMDs even if no BSP was installed before.
Of course, a DPDK app will require such a BSP installed for using the
NFP PMD.
Default PMD configuration is at **common_linuxapp configuration** file:
- **CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_NFP_PMD=y**
