Since dynamic fields and flags were added in 19.11,
the idea was to use them for new features, not only PMD-specific.
The guideline is made more explicit in doxygen, in the mbuf guide,
and in the contribution design guidelines.
For more information about the original design, see the presentation
https://www.dpdk.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2019/10/DynamicMbuf.pdf
This decision was discussed in the Technical Board:

Rather than using linuxapp and bsdapp everywhere, we can change things to
use the, more readable, terms "linux" and "freebsd" in our build configs.
Rather than renaming the configs we can just duplicate the existing ones
with the new names using symlinks, and use the new names exclusively
internally. ["make showconfigs" also only shows the new names to keep the
list short] The result is that backward compatibility is kept fully but any
new builds or development can be done using the newer names, i.e. both
"make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc" and "T=x86_64-native-linux-gcc"
work.

Rename the macro and all instances in DPDK code, but keep a copy of
the old macro defined for legacy code linking against DPDK

Rename the macro to make things shorter and more comprehensible. For
both meson and make builds, keep the old macro around for backward
compatibility.
