Add a new top-level "drivers" directory to which all PMDs will be moved
for easier maintenance of both lib folder and drivers themselves. This
new directory is a dependency of all the apps in the app folder, so
the makefiles for each app are updated.
To the new top-level directory add a "net" subdirectory to classify
more specifically our existing PMDs as ethernet drivers

Some applications doesn't have the pcap link flag
when shared libraries are enabled.
Indeed in such case, pcap PMD must not be linked but pcap library should.
Actually -lpcap is always needed if pcap PMD is used,
and -lrte_pmd_pcap must be set only with static PMD library.
So the flags -lrte_pmd_pcap and -lpcap are enabled separately.
Workarounds in test-pmd/ and test-pipeline/ can be removed.

No need to test some build option multiple times in a Makefile.
Besides, such option is needed by the associated app, so move it at the
top of the Makefile.

This application is purposefully built to benchmark the performance
of the Intel DPDK Packet Framework toolbox.
It uses 3 CPU cores connected in a chain through SW rings
(NICs --> Core A --> Core B --> Core C --> NICs)
1. Core A: reads packets from NIC ports and writes them to SW queues;
2. Core B: instantiates a Packet Framework pipeline that uses ring reader
input ports, a table whose type is selected trhough command line arguments
(--none, --stub, --lpm, --acl, --hash[-spec]-KEYSZ-TYPE, with KEYSZ as
8, 16 or 32 bytes and TYPE as ext (Extendible bucket) or lru (LRU))
and ring writers output ports;
3. Core C: reads packets from SW rings and writes them to NIC ports.
