  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.

A deprecation notice has been sent so that this work can be merged in
v23.11:
https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20230628134315.551591-1-david.marchand@redhat.com/


Changes since v6:
- rebased on v23.11-rc0,
- updated docs,

Changes since v5:
- added acks from Morten,
- resent series as a new thread to avoid confusing patchwork with the
  previous partially applied series,

Changes since v4:
- rebased on main,
- switched to a list of enabled deprecated libraries,

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,
