The basic operations for ports enumeration should not be
considered as experimental in DPDK 18.05.
The iterator RTE_ETH_FOREACH_DEV was introduced in DPDK 17.05.
It uses the function the rte_eth_find_next_owned_by() to get
only ownerless ports. Its API can be considered stable.
So the flag experimental is removed from rte_eth_find_next_owned_by().
The flag experimental is removed from rte_eth_dev_count_avail()
which is the new name of the old function rte_eth_dev_count().
The flag experimental is set to rte_eth_dev_count_total()
in the .c file for consistency with the declaration in the .h file.
A lot of internal applications are fixed to not allow experimental API.

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.

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
