pmdinfogen is a tool used to parse object files and build json strings for
use in later determining hardware support in a dso or application binary.
pmdinfo looks for the non-exported symbol names this_pmd_name<n> and
this_pmd_tbl<n> (where n is a integer counter). It records the name of
each of these tuples, using the later to find the symbolic name of the
pci_table for physical devices that the object supports. With this
information, it outputs a C file with a single line of the form:
static char *<pmd_name>_driver_info[] __attribute__((used)) = " \
PMD_DRIVER_INFO=<json string>";
Where <pmd_name> is the arbitrary name of the pmd, and <json_string> is the
json encoded string that hold relevant pmd information, including the pmd
name, type and optional array of pci device/vendor ids that the driver
supports.
This c file is suitable for compiling to object code, then relocatably
linking into the parent file from which the C was generated. This creates
an entry in the string table of the object that can inform a later tool
about hardware support.

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

test-framework.sh is an old script to check building of some dependencies.
testhost is an old app used to check HOSTCC.
Let's clean the scripts directory.

This commit removes trailing whitespace from lines in files. Almost all
files are affected, as the BSD license copyright header had trailing
whitespace on 4 lines in it [hence the number of files reporting 8 lines
changed in the diffstat].
