c0a775a141 doc: add SPDX license tag header to meson guide
The build-sdk-meson.rst file originates from the short plain-text meson
instructions added in 2018. Add SPDX tag and copyright notice based on the
original commit.

1509ef9350 doc: fix formatting of notes in meson guide
The "note" callouts in the chapter describing the meson build were
incorrectly formatted, so adjust to use the correct markdown syntax.

8549295db0 build/pkg-config: improve static linking flags
Rather than setting -Bstatic in the linker flags when doing a static link,
and then having to explicitly set -Bdynamic again afterwards, we can update
the pkg-config file to use -l:libfoo.a syntax to explicitly refer to the
static library in question. Since this syntax is not supported by meson's
pkg-config module directly, we can post-process the .pc files instead to
adjust them.

Once done, we can simplify the examples' makefiles and the docs by removing
the explicit static flag.

27db82c709 trace: introduce new subsystem
Define the public API for trace support.
This patch also adds support for the build infrastructure and
update the MAINTAINERS file for the trace subsystem.

The 8 bytes tracepoint object is a global variable, and can be used in
fast path. Created a new __rte_trace_point section to store the
tracepoint objects as,
- It is a mostly read-only data and not to mix with other "write"
  global variables.
- Chances that the same subsystem fast path variables come in the same
  fast path cache line. i.e, it will enable a more predictable
  performance number from build to build.
