Series fix build with DPDK 18.11 without -ldpdk | expand

Commit Message

DPDK 18.11 builds using the more modern meson build system no more
provide the -ldpdk linker script. Instead it is expected to use
pkgconfig for linker options as well.

This change will set DPDK_LIB from pkg-config (if pkg-config was
available) and since that already carries the whole-archive flags around
the PMDs skips the further wrapping in more whole-archive if that is
already part of DPDK_LIB.

Hi Christian,

Thanks for this, this patch will cause the travis build to fail, I'd suggest it be rolled into patch 2 of the series as its expected for all patches to pass the build individually rather than being corrected by a later patch in the series.

https://travis-ci.org/istokes/ovs/builds/488462598

Just a query for the RHEL folks, I remember there being some concern as the DPDK userspace conference with regards to dependencies required for the meson build of DPDK not being supported in RHEL distros, is this still the case?

I think this change is independent of the meson build.  It merely takes
the meson build into account, from what I can tell.
