Glue object files are looked up in RTE_EAL_PMD_PATH by default when set and
should be installed in this directory.
During startup, EAL attempts to load them automatically like other plug-ins
found there. While normally harmless, dlopen() fails when rdma-core is not
installed, EAL interprets this as a fatal error and terminates the
application.
This patch requests glue objects to be installed in a different directory
to prevent their automatic loading by EAL since they are PMD helpers, not
actual DPDK plug-ins.
