Add a maintainers section to the contributors guide to have a low tech

dynamically from the MAINTAINERS file in the root directory of the DPDK
source when the docs are built. This also allows us to link to the file
from other sections of the docs.

Since rdma-core glue libraries are intrinsically tied to their respective
PMDs and used as internal plug-ins, their presence in the default search
path among other system libraries for the dynamic linker is not necessarily
desired.
This commit enables their installation and subsequent look-up at run time
in RTE_EAL_PMD_PATH if configured to a nonempty string. This path can also
be overridden by environment variables MLX[45]_GLUE_PATH.

When mlx5 is not compiled directly as an independent shared object (e.g.
CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB not enabled for performance reasons), DPDK
applications inherit its dependencies on libibverbs and libmlx5 through
rte.app.mk.
This is an issue both when DPDK is delivered as a binary package (Linux
distributions) and for end users because rdma-core then propagates as a
mandatory dependency for everything.
Application writers relying on binary DPDK packages are not necessarily
aware of this fact and may end up delivering packages with broken
dependencies.
This patch therefore introduces an intermediate internal plug-in
hard-linked with rdma-core (to preserve symbol versioning) loaded by the
PMD through dlopen(), so that a missing rdma-core does not cause unresolved
symbols, allowing applications to start normally.
