Meson 0.47.1 fixed a bug that is difficult to work around, which causes
the linker flag of dependencies to be repeated dozens of times, which
causes issues especially when using the built-in dependency() API.
Bump the minimum version and remove obsolete version checks.

Since all other apps have been moved to the "app" folder, the autotest app
remains alone in the test folder. Rather than having an entire top-level
folder for this, we can move it back to where it all started in early
versions of DPDK - the "app/" folder.
This move has a couple of advantages:
* This reduces clutter at the top level of the project, due to one less
folder.
* It eliminates the separate build task necessary for building the
autotests using make "make test-build" which means that developers are
less likely to miss something in their own compilation tests
* It re-aligns the final location of the test binary in the app folder when
building with make with it's location in the source tree.
For meson builds, the autotest app is different from the other apps in that
it needs a series of different test cases defined for it for use by "meson
test". Therefore, it does not get built as part of the main loop in the
app folder, but gets built separately at the end.

Since compat library is only a single header, we can easily move it into
the EAL common headers instead of tracking it separately. The downside of
this is that it becomes a little more difficult to have any libs that are
built before EAL depend on it. Thankfully, this is not a major problem as
the only library which uses rte_compat.h and is built before EAL (kvargs)
already has the path to the compat.h header file explicitly called out as
an include path.
However, to ensure that we don't hit problems later with this, we can add
EAL common headers folder to the global include list in the meson build
which means that all common headers can be safely used by all libraries, no
matter what their build order.
As a side-effect, this patch also fixes an issue with building on BSD using
meson, due to compat lib no longer needing to be listed as a dependency.

As part of the effort of consolidating the DPDK installation bits and

installed to dpdk/pmds-XX.YY. It's necessary to have a versioned
subdirectory as multiple ABI revisions might be installed at the same
time, so having a fixed name will cause trouble with the autoload
feature.

Versions of meson prior to 0.47 flattened the parameters to the
"set_variable" function, which meant that the function could not take
array variables as a parameter. Therefore, we need to disable driver
tracking for those older versions, in order to maintain compatibility
with the minimum supported 0.41 version, and also v0.45 shipped in
Ubuntu 18.04 release.

This patch enables the test/test app to be built. It also adds
the test binary to be a meson-test, which allows the meson test
infrastructure to be used to run tests.
Tests are listed using the same test binary, however each test
sets a different DPDK_TEST environment variable. The string contents
of this DPDK_TEST env var is entered in the command line interface.
As such, the familiar test names such as "ring_perf_autotest" etc
are valid tests to run using this meson test infrastructure.
Note that the tests are run serially, given that we cannot run
multiple primary processes at a time. As each test must initialize
EAL this takes some time depending on the number of hugepages.
In future, we could improve this to run multiple tests from one
EAL init, but it is out of scope for this patchset.
Finally, an option to build the tests is added to the meson build
options. When disabled, the unit test code in test/test is not
compiled. The default is set to 'true'. To disable, run:
$ meson configure -Dtests=false

Any flags added to the project args are automatically added to all builds,
both native and cross-compiled. This is not what we want for the -march
flag as a valid -march for the cross-compile is not valid for pmdinfogen
which is a native-build tool.
Instead we store the march flag as a variable, and add it to the default
cflags for all libs, drivers, examples, etc. This will allow pmdinfogen to
compile successfully in a cross-compilation environment.

With the introduction of bus drivers, we now have a situation where
driver libraries will start to depend upon each other. Because of this,
the driver libs need to be discoverable by the dynamic loader.
There are three options to fix this:
1. Force the user to put the $libdir/dpdk/drivers folder into their
library path.
2. Move all libraries from drivers sub-directory to $libdir.
3. Symlink all libraries from the subfolder to the main library dir.
Option 1 is not great for usability or distro packaging, and option 2
means that we can't have EAL load all drivers from a known path
automatically (as it would error out on non-PMD libs), so option 3 was
chosen as the best fix. The only downside is that on a "ninja uninstall"
the symlinks are not removed, as they are unknown to meson/ninja.

Add support for having selected example apps built as part of a meson,
ninja build. By default none are built, and those to be built should be
named directly in the -Dexamples='' meson configuration argument.
This is useful for developers working on a feature who want to use a
suitable example, or examples, to test that feature, as they can compile
everything up in one go, and run the example without having to do a ninja
install first.
This commit adds examples which don't consist of multiple apps in
subdirectories to the meson build, so they can be built by default by
passing -Dexamples parameter to meson.
Not included are the following examples:
* ethtool
* multi-process
* netmap_compat
* performance-thread
* quota_watermark
* server_node_efd
* vm_power_manager
To test the apps added here, use the following command, merged to one line,
to add them to your meson build (command to be run inside the build
directory):
meson configure -Dexamples=bbdev_app,bond,cmdline,distributor,\
eventdev_pipeline_sw_pmd, exception_path,helloworld,\
ip_fragmentation,ip_pipeline,ip_reassembly, ipsec-secgw,\
