d711bea6fe eal: promote some experimental functions as stable
The function rte_eal_cleanup() was introduced more than one year ago,
in DPDK 18.02. It is no longer experimental, allowing
pdump, proc-info and hotplug_mp apps to not need any experimental API.

The function rte_ctrl_thread_create() was introduced one year ago
in DPDK 18.05. It is no longer experimental, allowing
KNI PMD and TEP example to not need any experimental API.

The functions rte_socket_count() and rte_socket_id_by_idx() were
introduced one year ago in DPDK 18.05. They are no longer experimental.

The function rte_dev_is_probed() was introduced half a year ago
in DPDK 18.11. It is no longer experimental.

b7ed955a20 ethdev: deprecate legacy filter API
As stated in the deprecation notice from December 2016,
"the legacy filter API, including rte_eth_dev_filter_supported(),
rte_eth_dev_filter_ctrl() as well as filter types MACVLAN, ETHERTYPE,
FLEXIBLE, SYN, NTUPLE, TUNNEL, FDIR, HASH and L2_TUNNEL, is superseded
by the generic flow API (rte_flow)".

After a long wait of more than two years, the legacy filter API
is marked as deprecated, while still tested with testpmd and
the tep_termination example.

The next step will be to announce a deadline for complete removal.
As preparation of the removal of rte_eth_ctrl.h,
RTE_ETH_FLOW_*, RTE_TUNNEL_TYPE_* and RTE_ETH_HASH_FUNCTION_* definitions
are moved to rte_ethdev.h and rte_flow.h.

8728ccf376 fix ethdev ports enumeration
Some DPDK applications wrongly assume these requirements:
    - no hotplug, i.e. ports are never detached
    - all allocated ports are available to the application

Such application iterates over ports by its own mean.
The most common pattern is to request the port count and
assume ports with index in the range [0..count[ can be used.

There are three consequences when using such wrong design:
    - new ports having an index higher than the port count won't be seen
    - old ports being detached (RTE_ETH_DEV_UNUSED) can be seen as ghosts
    - failsafe sub-devices (RTE_ETH_DEV_DEFERRED) will be seen by the application

Such mistake will be less common with growing hotplug awareness.
All applications and examples inside this repository - except testpmd -
must be fixed to use the iterator RTE_ETH_FOREACH_DEV.

89f0711f9d examples: build some samples with meson
Add support for having selected example apps built as part of a meson,
ninja build. By default none are built, and those to be built should be
named directly in the -Dexamples='' meson configuration argument.

This is useful for developers working on a feature who want to use a
suitable example, or examples, to test that feature, as they can compile
everything up in one go, and run the example without having to do a ninja
install first.

This commit adds examples which don't consist of multiple apps in
subdirectories to the meson build, so they can be built by default by
passing -Dexamples parameter to meson.

Not included are the following examples:
* ethtool
* multi-process
* netmap_compat
* performance-thread
* quota_watermark
* server_node_efd
* vm_power_manager

To test the apps added here, use the following command, merged to one line,
to add them to your meson build (command to be run inside the build
directory):

meson configure -Dexamples=bbdev_app,bond,cmdline,distributor,\
	eventdev_pipeline_sw_pmd, exception_path,helloworld,\
	ip_fragmentation,ip_pipeline,ip_reassembly, ipsec-secgw,\
	ipv4_multicast,kni,l2fwd-cat,l2fwd-crypto,l2fwd-jobstats,\
	l2fwd-keepalive,l2fwd,l3fwd-acl,l3fwd-power,l3fwd-vf,l3fwd,\
	link_status_interrupt,load_balancer,packet_ordering,ptpclient,\
	qos_meter,qos_sched,rxtx_callbacks,skeleton,tep_termination,\
	timer,vhost,vhost_scsi,vmdq,vmdq_dcb
