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.

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

The detection of pcap as a dependency involves invoking pcap-config to get
parameters - something not possible in a cross-compilation environment.
Therefore we need to just look for the presence of the library in a
cross-compilation environment and assume if the library is present we can
compile and link against it.

Any flags added to the project args are automatically added to all builds,

flag as a valid -march for the cross-compile is not valid for pmdinfogen

Instead we store the march flag as a variable, and add it to the default

Since the DPDK build now includes both static and shared libraries, we need
a new way to enable building the examples using either method from the one
installation. To do this, we add in a default "shared" target, and a
separate "static" target which links in the DPDK static libraries. In both
cases, the final application name is symlinked to the last-built static or
shared target, with both binaries able to co-exist in the build directory.

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.

This patch changes the build process to group all .o files for a driver or
library into a static archive first, and then link the .o files together
into a shared library. This eliminates the need for separate static or
shared object builds when packaging, for instance.
The "default_library" configuration option now only affects the apps and
examples, which are either linked against the static or shared library
versions depending on the value of the option.

The EAL and compat libraries were special-cases in the library build
process, the former because of it's complexity, and the latter because
it only consists of a single header file.
By reworking the EAL meson.build files, we can eliminate the need for it to
be a special case, by having it build up and return the list of sources,
headers, and objects and return those to the higher level build file. This
should also simplify the building of EAL, as we can eliminate a number of
meson.build files that would no longer be needed, and have fewer, but
larger meson.build files (9 now vs 14 previous) - thereby making the logic
easier to follow and items easier to find.
Once done, we can pull eal into the main library loop, with some
modifications to support it. Compat can also be pulled it once we add in a
check to handle the case of an empty sources list.

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,

The main rte_lpm.h header file also includes architecture specific headers,
depending on the architecture on which it is used. These also need to be
installed into the include directory as part of the "ninja install"
process. Thankfully, since the vector headers all have different names we
can just install all 3 of them in all cases, which avoids conflicts or
issues with multi-architecture installs, or the need to use
architecture-specific subdirectories.
