build/pkg-config: prevent overlinking

Browse Source 
Add the --as-needed linker flag to the DPDK library list in the pkg-config
file so as to prevent overlinking. Without this flag, when linking
statically using flags from $(pkg-config --static --libs libdpdk), all DPDK
drivers and libs were statically linked in, but the binary was also
requiring all the shared versions be present to run.

The real root-cause of this issue is that the DPDK libraries need to be
duplicated in the linker command when doing static linking, due to the
behaviour of pkg-config, but since that behaviour cannot be easily changed,
this is a simple workaround to avoid problems.

# Another requirement is to allow linking dependencies as shared libraries,

# listing the static files in Libs.private with the explicit syntax -l:libfoo.a.
# As a consequence, the regular DPDK libraries are already listed as static
# in the field Libs.private. The second occurences of DPDK libraries,
# included from Requires and used for shared library linkage case,
# are skipped in the case of static linkage thanks to the flag --as-needed.
