DSW keeps an internal port load estimate, used by the load balancing
mechanism. As a side effect, it keeps track of the total number of
busy cycles since startup. This metric is indirectly exposed in the
form of DSW xstats' "port_<n>_event_proc_latency", which is the total
number of busy cycles divided by the total number of events processed
on a particular port.
An external application can take (event_latency * dequeued) to go back
to busy_cycles. One reason for doing this is to measure the port's
load during a longer time period, without resorting to sampling
"port_<n>_load". However, as the number dequeued events grows, a
rounding error in event_latency renders the application-calculated
busy_cycles inaccurate.
Thus, it makes sense to directly expose the number of busy cycles as a
DSW xstats, even though it might seem redundant.

DSW limits the rate of migrations on a per-port basis. Hence, as the
number of cores grows, so does the total migration capacity.
In high core-count systems, this allows for a situation where flows
are migrated to a lightly loaded port which recently already received
a number of new flows (from other ports). The processing load
generated by these new flows may not yet be reflected in the lightly
loaded port's load estimate. The result is that the previously lightly
loaded port is now overloaded.
This patch adds a rough estimate of the size of the inbound migrations
to a particular port, which can be factored into the migration logic,
avoiding the above problem.

Allowing moving multiple flows in one migration transaction, to
rebalance load more quickly.
Introduce a threshold to avoid migrating flows between ports with very
similar load.
Simplify logic for selecting which flow to migrate. The aim is now to
move flows in such a way that the receiving port is as lightly-loaded
as possible (after receiving the flow), while still migrating enough
flows from the source port to reduce its load. This is essentially how
legacy strategy work as well, but the code is more readable.

To allow visualization of migrations, track the number flow

If an application issues rte_event_enqueue_new_burst() or
rte_event_enqueue_forward_burst() call with a burst of events longer
than the configured max enqueue burst size, DSW allocates credits not
only for events actually enqueued, but for the complete burst. If this
process is repeated, enough credits will have leaked to cause the
event device to backpressure (i.e. disallow) any new enqueue
operations.
In addition, the port-level enqueue xstats will log the wrong number
of events enqueued for oversized enqueues.
This patch makes DSW gracefully handle oversized enqueue bursts.

Fix DSW's rte_event_enqueue_burst(), so that a call with a zero-sized

this patch, the flush operation would be deferred to the next enqueue

Since the library versioning for both stable and experimental ABI's is
now managed globally, the LIBABIVER and version variables no longer
serve any useful purpose, and can be removed.
The replacement in Makefiles was done using the following regex:
^(#.*\n)?LIBABIVER\s*:=\s*\d+\n(\s*\n)?
(LIBABIVER := numbers, optionally preceded by a comment and optionally
succeeded by an empty line)
The replacement for meson files was done using the following regex:
^(#.*\n)?version\s*=\s*\d+\n(\s*\n)?
(version = numbers, optionally preceded by a comment and optionally
succeeded by an empty line)

- lib/librte_eal/meson.build

While meson always adds -Wall flag to C compiles, the make build adds extra
warning flags that are not present in the meson build. This addresses that
shortcoming by adding additional warning flags to our builds. The one
omission is the -Wcast-align flag, which though present in make gcc builds,
gives a lot of warnings/errors when used with clang.
The removed warning "-Wunused-parameter" is covered by the "-Wextra"
parameter so is unnecessary.
