[v4,0/4] Select optional libraries

  This series is one implementation to try and please users who want to
select more easily which parts of DPDK are built.

It introduces a change in behavior for enabling deprecated libraries:
this series is aimed at the next release but sent early as a demo of
what changes are required.

If no strong opposition is met, a deprecation notice will be sent for
v23.07 to announce this change in v23.11.


Changes since v3:
- split kni cleanup,
- split variable rename cleanup,
- introduced a new meson option to control deprecated libraries
  activation,
- simplified the actual implementation of enable_libs to mimic
  enable_drivers behavior,

I think the first 2 patches should definitely go into 23.07. The latter two
cause a change in how one needs to build DPDK with libs enabled, so we may
want to push that out, and flag the change in advance. Since it's a
relatively minor change, and a build-time one only, I'm fine with it going
in either 23.07 or 23.11, as maintainers decide.
