fa47405cc1 ethdev: remove experimental flag of ports enumeration
The basic operations for ports enumeration should not be
considered as experimental in DPDK 18.05.

The iterator RTE_ETH_FOREACH_DEV was introduced in DPDK 17.05.
It uses the function the rte_eth_find_next_owned_by() to get
only ownerless ports. Its API can be considered stable.
So the flag experimental is removed from rte_eth_find_next_owned_by().

The flag experimental is removed from rte_eth_dev_count_avail()
which is the new name of the old function rte_eth_dev_count().

The flag experimental is set to rte_eth_dev_count_total()
in the .c file for consistency with the declaration in the .h file.

A lot of internal applications are fixed to not allow experimental API.

Fixes: d9a42a69fe ("ethdev: deprecate port count function")
Fixes: e70e26861e ("net/mvpp2: fix build")

8728ccf376 fix ethdev ports enumeration
Some DPDK applications wrongly assume these requirements:
    - no hotplug, i.e. ports are never detached
    - all allocated ports are available to the application

Such application iterates over ports by its own mean.
The most common pattern is to request the port count and
assume ports with index in the range [0..count[ can be used.

There are three consequences when using such wrong design:
    - new ports having an index higher than the port count won't be seen
    - old ports being detached (RTE_ETH_DEV_UNUSED) can be seen as ghosts
    - failsafe sub-devices (RTE_ETH_DEV_DEFERRED) will be seen by the application

Such mistake will be less common with growing hotplug awareness.
All applications and examples inside this repository - except testpmd -
must be fixed to use the iterator RTE_ETH_FOREACH_DEV.

cbc12b0a96 mk: do not generate LDLIBS from directory dependencies
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.

5cd3cac9ed latency: added new library for latency stats
Add a library designed to calculate latency statistics and report them
to the application when queried. The library measures minimum, average and
maximum latencies, and jitter in nano seconds. The current implementation
supports global latency stats, i.e. per application stats.
