74f4d6424d lib: remind experimental status in headers
The following libraries are experimental, all of their functions can
be changed or removed:

- librte_bbdev
- librte_bpf
- librte_compressdev
- librte_fib
- librte_flow_classify
- librte_graph
- librte_ipsec
- librte_node
- librte_rcu
- librte_rib
- librte_stack
- librte_telemetry

Their status is properly announced in MAINTAINERS.
Remind this status in their headers in a common fashion (aligned to ABI
docs).

44415a62e6 fib: fix headers for C++ support
This patch allows C++ programs to use librte_fib library routines.
Previously C++ programs were not able to link this library and programs
would fail to get linked. With this patch compilation and linking
will be successful.

Fixes: 39e927248416 ("fib: add FIB library")
Fixes: 40d41a8a7b34 ("fib: support IPv6")

7dc7868b20 fib: add DIR24-8 dataplane algorithm
Add fib implementation for DIR24_8 algorithm for IPv4.
Implementation is similar to current LPM implementation but has
few enhancements:
faster control plane operations
more bits for userdata in table entries
configurable userdata size

39e9272484 fib: add FIB library
Add FIB (Forwarding Information Base) library. This library
implements a dataplane structures and algorithms designed for
fast longest prefix match.
Internally it consists of two parts - RIB (control plane ops) and
implementation for the dataplane tasks.
Initial version provides two implementations for both IPv4 and IPv6:
dummy (uses RIB as a dataplane) and DIR24_8 (same as current LPM)
Due to proposed design it allows to extend FIB with new algorithms
in future (for example DXR, poptrie, etc).
