Since all other apps have been moved to the "app" folder, the autotest app
remains alone in the test folder. Rather than having an entire top-level
folder for this, we can move it back to where it all started in early
versions of DPDK - the "app/" folder.
This move has a couple of advantages:
* This reduces clutter at the top level of the project, due to one less
folder.
* It eliminates the separate build task necessary for building the
autotests using make "make test-build" which means that developers are
less likely to miss something in their own compilation tests
* It re-aligns the final location of the test binary in the app folder when
building with make with it's location in the source tree.
For meson builds, the autotest app is different from the other apps in that
it needs a series of different test cases defined for it for use by "meson
test". Therefore, it does not get built as part of the main loop in the
app folder, but gets built separately at the end.

The bpf folder didn't actual contain a test application, but instead
basic examples of BPF code for use with testpmd. Therefore we can
move it to the `examples` folder. Being different, it also needs
a README with it, explaining what it is and how to use it. References
to the code from the testpmd docs are suitably updated.

Since compat library is only a single header, we can easily move it into
the EAL common headers instead of tracking it separately. The downside of
this is that it becomes a little more difficult to have any libs that are
built before EAL depend on it. Thankfully, this is not a major problem as
the only library which uses rte_compat.h and is built before EAL (kvargs)
already has the path to the compat.h header file explicitly called out as
an include path.
However, to ensure that we don't hit problems later with this, we can add
EAL common headers folder to the global include list in the meson build
which means that all common headers can be safely used by all libraries, no
matter what their build order.
As a side-effect, this patch also fixes an issue with building on BSD using
meson, due to compat lib no longer needing to be listed as a dependency.

Since 18.05, libnuma is pretty much required on Linux when using
non-legacy mode, because without it, we cannot know where our
hugepages are located [1].
In legacy mode, libnuma is not required because we can still sort
pages by sockets, as we use pagemap lookup method to figure out
socket ID's for pages.
So, document libnuma as required for NUMA systems and non-legacy
mode.
