Weak functions don't work well with static libraries and require the use of
"whole-archive" flag to ensure that the correct function is used when
linking. Since the weak function is only used as a placeholder within this
library alone, we can replace it with a non-weak version protected using
preprocessor ifdefs.

Whenever possible (if the library ships a pkg-config file) use meson's
dependency() function to look for it, as it will automatically add it
to the Requires.private list if needed, to allow for static builds to
succeed for reverse dependencies of DPDK. Otherwise the recursive
dependencies are not parsed, and users doing static builds have to
resolve them manually by themselves.
When using this API avoid additional checks that are superfluous and
take extra time, and avoid adding the linker flag manually which causes
it to be duplicated.

Rather than relying on the target machine architecture, use the
size of a pointer from the compiler to determine if we are 64-bits
or not. This allows correct behaviour when you pass -m32 as a compile
option. It also allows us to use this value repeatedly throughout the
repo rather than continually testing for the sizeof(void*).

Introduce API to install BPF based filters on ethdev RX/TX path.
Current implementation is pure SW one, based on ethdev RX/TX
callback mechanism.

librte_bpf provides a framework to load and execute eBPF bytecode
inside user-space dpdk based applications.
It supports basic set of features from eBPF spec
(https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/filter.txt).
Not currently supported features:
- JIT
- cBPF
- tail-pointer call
- eBPF MAP
- skb
- function calls for 32-bit apps
- mbuf pointer as input parameter for 32-bit apps
