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.

In the case the device is created by the primary process,
the secondary must request some file descriptors to attach the queues.
The file descriptors are shared via IPC Unix socket.
Thanks to the IPC synchronization, the secondary process
is now able to do Rx/Tx on a TAP created by the primary process.

This commit implements TCP segmentation offload in TAP.
librte_gso library is used to segment large TCP payloads (e.g. packets
of 64K bytes size) into smaller MTU size buffers.
By supporting TSO offload capability in software a TAP device can be used
as a failsafe sub device and be paired with another PCI device which
supports TSO capability in HW.
For more details on librte_gso implementation please refer to dpdk
documentation.
The number of newly generated TCP TSO segments is limited to 64.

eBPF has a graceful approach: it must successfully compile on all Linux
distributions. If a specific kernel cannot support eBPF it will gracefully
refuse the eBPF netlink message sent to it.
The kernel header file linux/bpf.h (if present) on different Linux
distributions may not include all definitions required for TAP
compilation.
In order to guarantee a successful eBPF compilation everywhere all the
required definitions for TAP have been locally added instead of including
file <linux/bpf.h>

TAP PMD is required to support RSS queue mapping based on rte_flow API. An
example usage for this requirement is failsafe transparent switching from a
PCI device to TAP device while keep redirecting packets to the same RSS
queues on both devices.
TAP RSS implementation is based on eBPF programs sent to Linux kernel
through BPF system calls and using netlink messages to reference the
programs as part of traffic control commands.
TC uses eBPF programs as classifiers and actions.
eBPF classification: packets marked with an RSS queue will be directed
to this queue using TC with "skbedit" action.
BPF classifiers are downloaded to the kernel once on TAP creation for
each TAP Rx queue.
eBPF action: calculate the Toeplitz RSS hash based on L3 addresses and
L4 ports. Mark the packet with the RSS queue according the resulting
RSS hash, then reclassify the packet.
BPF actions are downloaded to the kernel for each new RSS rule.
TAP eBPF requires Linux version 4.9 configured with BPF. TAP PMD will
successfully compile on systems with old or non-BPF configured kernels but
RSS rules creation on TAP devices will not be successful

The list of libraries in LDLIBS was generated from the DEPDIRS-xyz
variable. This is valid when the subdirectory name match the library
name, but it's not always the case, especially for PMDs.
The patches removes this feature and explicitly adds the proper
libraries in LDLIBS.
Some DEPDIRS-xyz variables become useless, remove them.

Supported flow rules are now mapped to TC rules on the tap netdevice.
The netlink message used for creating the TC rule is stored in struct
rte_flow. That way, by simply changing a metadata in it, we can require
for the rule deletion without further parsing.
Supported items:
- eth: src and dst (with variable masks), and eth_type (0xffff mask).
- vlan: vid, pcp, tpid, but not eid.
- ipv4/6: src and dst (with variable masks), and ip_proto (0xffff mask).
- udp/tcp: src and dst port (0xffff) mask.
Supported actions:
- DROP
- QUEUE
- PASSTHRU
It is generally not possible to provide a "last" item. However, if the
"last" item, once masked, is identical to the masked spec, then it is
supported.
Only IPv4/6 and MAC addresses can use a variable mask. All other
items need a full mask (exact match).
Support for VLAN requires kernel headers >= 4.9, checked using
auto-config.sh.

Each kernel netdevice may have queueing disciplines set for it, which
determine how to handle the packet (mostly on egress). That's part of
the TC (Traffic Control) mechanism.
Through TC, it is possible to set filter rules that match specific
packets, and act according to what is in the rule. This is a perfect
candidate to implement the flow API for the tap PMD, as it has an
associated kernel netdevice automatically.
Each flow API rule will be translated into its TC counterpart.
To leverage TC, it is necessary to communicate with the kernel using
netlink. This patch introduces a library to help that communication.
Inside netlink.c, functions are generic for any netlink messaging.
Inside tcmsgs.c, functions are specific to deal with TC rules.

Before this patch, the management of dependencies between directories
had several issues:
- the generation of .depdirs, done at configuration is slow: it can take
more than one minute on some slow targets (usually ~10s on a standard
PC without -j).
- for instance, it is possible to express a dependency like:
- app/foo depends on lib/librte_foo
- and lib/librte_foo depends on app/bar
But this won't work because the directories are traversed with a
depth-first algorithm, so we have to choose between doing 'app' before
or after 'lib'.
- the script depdirs-rule.sh is too complex.
- we cannot use "make -d" for debug, because the output of make is used for
the generation of .depdirs.
This patch moves the DEPDIRS-* variables in the upper Makefile, making
the dependencies much easier to calculate. A DEPDIRS variable is still
used to process library dependencies in LDLIBS.
After this commit, "make config" is almost immediate.
