At this stage, meson builds are widely supported for DPDK, and so
the build system should be no longer called out as experimental.
NOTE: this does not imply it's the primary build system, just that
it's safe to use for day-to-day work and for packaging if so
desired.

Since 18.05, libnuma is pretty much required on Linux when using
non-legacy mode, because without it, we cannot know where our
hugepages are located [1].
In legacy mode, libnuma is not required because we can still sort
pages by sockets, as we use pagemap lookup method to figure out
socket ID's for pages.
So, document libnuma as required for NUMA systems and non-legacy
mode.

Right now ipsec-secgw always enables TX offloads
(DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MULTI_SEGS, DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_SECURITY),
even when they are not requested by the config.
That causes many PMD to choose full-featured TX function,
which in many cases is much slower then one without offloads.
That patch adds ability for the user to disable unneeded HW offloads.
If DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_IPV4_CKSUM is disabled by user, then
SW version of ip cksum calculation is used.
That allows to use vector TX function, when inline-ipsec is not
requested.
