Whenever possible (if the library ships a pkg-config file) use meson's
dependency() function to look for it, as it will automatically add it
to the Requires.private list if needed, to allow for static builds to
succeed for reverse dependencies of DPDK. Otherwise the recursive
dependencies are not parsed, and users doing static builds have to
resolve them manually by themselves.
When using this API avoid additional checks that are superfluous and
take extra time, and avoid adding the linker flag manually which causes
it to be duplicated.
