Remove setting ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_API individually for each Makefile and
meson.build. Instead, enable ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_API flag across app, lib
and drivers.
This changes reduces the clutter across the project while still
maintaining the functionality of ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_API i.e. warning
external applications about experimental API usage.

As per new ABI policy [1], all of the libraries are now versioned using
one global ABI version. Stable libraries use the MAJOR.MINOR ABI
version for their shared objects, while experimental libraries
use the 0.MAJORMINOR convention for their versioning.
Experimental library versioning is managed globally. Changes in this
patch implement the necessary steps to enable that.
The CONFIG_RTE_MAJOR_ABI option was introduced to permit multiple
DPDK versions installed side by side. The problem is now addressed
through the new ABI policy, and thus can be removed.
[David] For external libraries relying on Makefile, LIBABIVER is
preserved to avoid using DPDK global ABI version.

Any file with ABI versioned functions needs different macros for shared and
static builds, so we need to accommodate that. Rather than building
everything twice, we just flag to the build system which libraries need
that handling, by setting use_function_versioning in the meson.build files.
To ensure we don't get silent errors at build time due to this meson flag
being missed, we add an explicit error to the function versioning header
file if a known C macro is not defined. Since "make" builds always only
build one of shared or static libraries, this define can be always set, and
so is added to the global CFLAGS. For meson, the build flag - and therefore
the C define - is set for the three libraries that need the function
versioning: "distributor", "lpm" and "timer".

Regular expressions are not the best way to match a hierarchical
pattern like dynamic log levels. And the separator for dynamic
log levels is period which is the regex wildcard character.
A better solution is to use filename matching 'globbing' so
that log levels match like file paths. For compatibility,
use colon to separate pattern match style arguments. For
example:
--log-level 'pmd.net.virtio.*:debug'
This also makes the documentation match what really happens
internally.

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.

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.
