Add the vectorized version of the no-scatter Rx handler. It aims to
process 8 descriptors per loop using AVX2 SIMD instructions. This
handler is in its own file enic_rxtx_vec_avx2.c, and makefile and
meson.build are modified to compile it when the compiler supports
AVX2. Under ideal conditions, the vectorized handler reduces
cycles/packet by more than 30%, when compared against the no-scatter
Rx handler. Most implementation ideas come from i40e's AVX2 based
handler, so credit goes to its authors.
At this point, the new handler is meant for field trials, and is not
selected by default. So add a new devarg enable-avx2-rx to allow the
user to request the use of the new handler. When enable-avx2-rx=1, the
driver will consider using the new handler.
Also update the guide doc and introduce the vectorized handler.

The PCI lib defines the types and methods allowing to use PCI elements.
The PCI bus implements a bus driver for PCI devices by constructing
rte_bus elements using the PCI lib.
Move the relevant code out of the EAL to its expected place.
Libraries, drivers, unit tests and applications are updated to use the
new rte_bus_pci.h header when necessary.

The list of libraries in LDLIBS was generated from the DEPDIRS-xyz
variable. This is valid when the subdirectory name match the library
name, but it's not always the case, especially for PMDs.
The patches removes this feature and explicitly adds the proper
libraries in LDLIBS.
Some DEPDIRS-xyz variables become useless, remove them.

Before this patch, the management of dependencies between directories
had several issues:
- the generation of .depdirs, done at configuration is slow: it can take
more than one minute on some slow targets (usually ~10s on a standard
PC without -j).
- for instance, it is possible to express a dependency like:
- app/foo depends on lib/librte_foo
- and lib/librte_foo depends on app/bar
But this won't work because the directories are traversed with a
depth-first algorithm, so we have to choose between doing 'app' before
or after 'lib'.
- the script depdirs-rule.sh is too complex.
- we cannot use "make -d" for debug, because the output of make is used for
the generation of .depdirs.
This patch moves the DEPDIRS-* variables in the upper Makefile, making
the dependencies much easier to calculate. A DEPDIRS variable is still
used to process library dependencies in LDLIBS.
After this commit, "make config" is almost immediate.

The Tx functions were in enic_ethdev.c and enic_main.c - files in which
they did not logically belong. To make things consistent with most
other drivers, we therefore extract them and place them with the equivalent
Rx functions into a file called enic_rxtx.c.

This is a wholesale replacement of the Enic PMD receive path in order
to improve performance and code clarity. The changes are:
- Simplify and reduce code path length of receive function.
- Put most of the fast-path receive functions in one file.
- Reduce the number of posted_index updates (pay attention to
rx_free_thresh)
- Remove the unneeded container structure around the RQ mbuf ring
- Prefetch next Mbuf and descriptors while processing the current one
- Use a lookup table for converting CQ flags to mbuf flags.

Move malloc inside eal and create a new section in MAINTAINERS file for
Memory Allocation in EAL.
Create a dummy malloc library to avoid breaking applications that have
librte_malloc in their DT_NEEDED entries.
This is the first step towards using malloc to allocate memory directly
from memsegs. Thus, memzones would allocate memory through malloc,
allowing to free memzones.
