This patch adds telemetry as a dependecy to all applications. Without these
changes, the --telemetry flag will not be recognised and applications will
fail to run if they want to enable telemetry.

This adds a new forwarding mode to testpmd to simulate
more realistic behavior of a guest machine engaged in receiving
and sending packets performing Virtual Network Function (VNF).
The goal is to enable a simple way of measuring performance impact on
cache and memory footprint utilization from various VNF co-located on
the same host machine. For this it does:
* Buffer packets in a FIFO:
Create a fifo to buffer received packets. Once it flows over put
those packets into the actual tx queue. The fifo is created per tx
queue and its size can be set with the --noisy-tx-sw-buffer-flushtime
commandline parameter.
A second commandline parameter is used to set a timeout in
milliseconds after which the fifo is flushed.
--noisy-tx-sw-buffer-size [packet numbers]
Keep the mbuf in a FIFO and forward the over flooding packets from the
FIFO. This queue is per TX-queue (after all other packet processing).
--noisy-tx-sw-buffer-flushtime [delay]
Flush the packet queue if no packets have been seen during
[delay]. As long as packets are seen, the timer is reset.
Add several options to simulate route lookups (memory reads) in tables
that can be quite large, as well as route hit statistics update.
These options simulates the while stack traversal and
will trash the cache. Memory access is random.
* simulate route lookups:
Allocate a buffer and perform reads and writes on it as specified by
commandline options:
--noisy-lkup-memory [size]
Size of the VNF internal memory (MB), in which the random
read/write will be done, allocated by rte_malloc (hugepages).
--noisy-lkup-num-writes [num]
Number of random writes in memory per packet should be
performed, simulating hit-flags update. 64 bits per write,
all write in different cache lines.
--noisy-lkup-num-reads [num]
Number of random reads in memory per packet should be
performed, simulating FIB/table lookups. 64 bits per read,
all write in different cache lines.
--noisy-lkup-num-reads-writes [num]
Number of random reads and writes in memory per packet should
be performed, simulating stats update. 64 bits per read-write, all
reads and writes in different cache lines.

These functions are buggy from the very beginning and should not be used.
Generic EAL hotplug mechanisms should be used instead.

Modied the testpmd softnic forwarding mode as per the
changes in softnic PMD.
To run testpmd application with softnic fwd mode, following
command is used;
$ ./testpmd -c 0xc -n 4 --vdev 'net_softnic0,firmware=script.cli'
-- -i --forward-mode=softnic

Any flags added to the project args are automatically added to all builds,
both native and cross-compiled. This is not what we want for the -march
flag as a valid -march for the cross-compile is not valid for pmdinfogen
which is a native-build tool.
Instead we store the march flag as a variable, and add it to the default
cflags for all libs, drivers, examples, etc. This will allow pmdinfogen to
compile successfully in a cross-compilation environment.

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.
