Remove setting ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_API individually for each Makefile and
meson.build. Instead, enable ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_API flag across app, lib
and drivers.
This changes reduces the clutter across the project while still
maintaining the functionality of ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_API i.e. warning
external applications about experimental API usage.

Since the library versioning for both stable and experimental ABI's is
now managed globally, the LIBABIVER and version variables no longer
serve any useful purpose, and can be removed.
The replacement in Makefiles was done using the following regex:
^(#.*\n)?LIBABIVER\s*:=\s*\d+\n(\s*\n)?
(LIBABIVER := numbers, optionally preceded by a comment and optionally
succeeded by an empty line)
The replacement for meson files was done using the following regex:
^(#.*\n)?version\s*=\s*\d+\n(\s*\n)?
(version = numbers, optionally preceded by a comment and optionally
succeeded by an empty line)
[David]: those variables are manually removed for the files:
- drivers/common/qat/Makefile
- lib/librte_eal/meson.build
[David]: the LIBABIVER is restored for the external ethtool example
library.

The cmdline library used to be the only way to parse a
mac address. Now there is rte_ether_unformat_addr.

The basic operations for ports enumeration should not be
considered as experimental in DPDK 18.05.
The iterator RTE_ETH_FOREACH_DEV was introduced in DPDK 17.05.
It uses the function the rte_eth_find_next_owned_by() to get
only ownerless ports. Its API can be considered stable.
So the flag experimental is removed from rte_eth_find_next_owned_by().
The flag experimental is removed from rte_eth_dev_count_avail()
which is the new name of the old function rte_eth_dev_count().
The flag experimental is set to rte_eth_dev_count_total()
in the .c file for consistency with the declaration in the .h file.
A lot of internal applications are fixed to not allow experimental API.

Ethernet devices which are grouped by bonding PMD, aka slaves, are
sharing the same queues and RSS configurations and their Rx burst
functions must be managed by the bonding PMD according to the bonding
architecture.
So, it makes sense to configure the same flow rules for all the bond
slaves to allow consistency in packet flow management.
Add rte flow support to the bonding PMD to manage all flow
configuration to the bonded slaves.

Some DPDK applications wrongly assume these requirements:
- no hotplug, i.e. ports are never detached
- all allocated ports are available to the application
Such application iterates over ports by its own mean.
The most common pattern is to request the port count and
assume ports with index in the range [0..count[ can be used.
There are three consequences when using such wrong design:
- new ports having an index higher than the port count won't be seen
- old ports being detached (RTE_ETH_DEV_UNUSED) can be seen as ghosts
- failsafe sub-devices (RTE_ETH_DEV_DEFERRED) will be seen by the application
Such mistake will be less common with growing hotplug awareness.
All applications and examples inside this repository - except testpmd -
must be fixed to use the iterator RTE_ETH_FOREACH_DEV.

By making "compat" lib (which consists of a header only) a dependency of
the EAL, we make the header file available to all other libs, drivers and
apps, and thereby make it less work to do ABI versioning.
