The linker script is generated by simply finding all libraries in
RTE_OUTPUT/lib.
The issue shows up when re-building the DPDK, hence already having a
linker script in that directory, resulting in the linker script
including itself.
That does not play well with the linker.
Simply filtering the linker script from all the found libraries solves
the problem.

The physically linked-together combined library has been an increasing
source of problems, as was predicted when library and symbol versioning
was introduced. Replace the complex and fragile construction with a
simple linker script which achieves the same without all the problems,
remove the related kludges from eg mlx drivers.
Since creating the linker script is practically zero cost, remove the
config option and just create it always.
Based on a patch by Sergio Gonzales Monroy, linker script approach
initially suggested by Neil Horman.
