The way we're building DPDK in CI, with -Dmachine=default, has not been
updated when the option got replaced to preserve a backwards-complatible
build call to facilitate ABI verification between DPDK versions. Update
the call to use -Dplatform=generic, which is the most up to date way to
execute the same build which is now present in all DPDK versions the ABI
check verifies.

The machine=generic is not understood by older version of dpdk.
It is directly passed to gcc as -march=generic.
Since DPDK requires SSE 4.2, this results in an error when configuring

The current machine='default' build name is not descriptive. The actual

the same build and better describes what we're building:
machine='generic'. Leave machine='default' for backwards compatibility.

Parts of the unit tests code rely on forked/secondary processes
(expectedly) failing.
A crash in those situations could be missed so add a check on coredumps
presence after unit tests have run.
When unit tests fail, it can also help checking for coredumps as it
could give more insights on what happened.
In some situations (like explicit call to rte_panic), coredump generation
must be disabled to avoid false positives.

With the recent changes in terms of free access to the Travis CI, let's
offer an alternative with GitHub Actions.
Running jobs on ARM is not supported unless using external runners, so
this commit only adds builds for x86_64 and cross compiling for i386 and
aarch64.
Differences with the Travis CI integration:
- Error logs are not dumped to the console when something goes wrong.
Instead, they are gathered in a "catch-all" step and attached as
artifacts.
- A cache entry is stored once and for all, but if no cache is found you
can inherit from the default branch cache. The cache is 5GB large, for
the whole git repository.
- The maximum retention of logs and artifacts is 3 months.
- /home/runner is world writable, so a workaround has been added for
starting dpdk processes.
- Ilya, working on OVS GHA support, noticed that jobs can run with
processors that don't have the same capabilities. For DPDK, this
impacts the ccache content since everything was built with
-march=native so far, and we will end up with binaries that can't run
in a later build. The problem has not been seen in Travis CI (?) but
it is safer to use a fixed "-Dmachine=default" in any case.
- Scheduling jobs is part of the configuration and takes the form of a
crontab. A build is scheduled every Monday at 0:00 (UTC) to provide a
default ccache for the week (useful for the ovsrobot).

For normal developers, those checks are disabled.
Enabling them requires a configuration that will trigger the ABI dumps
generation as part of the existing devtools/test-build.sh and
devtools/test-meson-builds.sh scripts.
Those checks are enabled in the CI for the default meson options on x86
and aarch64 so that proposed patches are validated via our CI robot.
A cache of the ABI is stored in travis jobs to avoid rebuilding too
often.
Checks can be informational only, by setting ABI_CHECKS_WARN_ONLY when
breaking the ABI in a future release.
Explicit suppression rules have been added on internal structures
exposed to crypto drivers as the current ABI policy does not apply to
them.
This could be improved in the future by carefully splitting the headers
content with application and driver "users" in mind.
We currently have issues reported for librte_crypto recent changes for
which suppression rules have been added too.
Mellanox glue libraries are explicitly skipped as they are not part of
the application ABI.

Add Travis compilation jobs for native aarch64. gcc/clang compilations
for static/shared libraries are added.
Some limitations for current aarch64 Travis support:
1. Container is used. Huge page is not available due to security reason.
2. Missing kernel header package in Xenial distribution.
Solutions to address the limitations:
1. Not to add unit test for now. And run tests with no-huge in future.
2. Use Bionic distribution for all aarch64 jobs.

When building under Travis (or another linux CI service), enable
running the fast-tests when the RUN_TESTS environment variable is set.
For the Travis service, introduce two new shared builds, since the
shared builds are the ones passing. Builds that are statically
linked still show some issues in some of the eal_flags tests. We make
new builds for this, rather than piggybacking, because 'at a glance'
it is difficult to determine why a build fails, and if tests were
enabled for all builds, then looking at the logs for any build would
take a significant amount of time.
Finally, the command to invoke fast tests includes a timeout
multiplier, since some CI environments don't have enough resources to
complete the tests in the default 10s timeout period.

GitHub is a service used by developers to store repositories. GitHub
provides service integrations that allow 3rd party services to access
developer repositories and perform actions. One of these services is
Travis-CI, a simple continuous integration platform.
This series introduces the ability for any github mirrors of the DPDK
project, including developer mirrors, to kick off builds under the
travis CI infrastructure. For now, this just means compilation - no
other kinds of automated run exists yet. In the future, this can be
expanded to execute and report results for any test-suites that might
exist.
This is a simple initial implementation of a travis build for the DPDK
project. It doesn't require any changes from individual developers to
enable, but will allow those developers who opt-in to GitHub and the
travis service to get automatic builds for every push they make.
The files added under .ci/ exist so that in the future, other CI
support platforms (such as cirrus, appveyor, etc.) could have a common
place to put their requisite scripts without polluting the main tree.
