The build-sdk-meson.txt file is a little out of date, so update it with
information on the latest build requirements, and remove any content
no longer needed.
Since the cross-compilation file quoted in the document is now considerably
longer and more complex than previous, replace the contents of the file
with a summary of it instead. This is shorter and more maintainable, and
the original file is available as part of the repo anyway if the user wants
to view it.

At this stage, meson builds are widely supported for DPDK, and so
the build system should be no longer called out as experimental.
NOTE: this does not imply it's the primary build system, just that
it's safe to use for day-to-day work and for packaging if so
desired.

Add various vendor specific cross build targets.
This can be verified by using linaro toolchain and running
meson build --cross-file config/arm/arm64_<cpu>_<platform>_<compiler>
In future more cross build targets can be added.
