[RFC,v2,00/26] add meson config options for queues per port

There are a number of issues with the current RTE_MAX_QUEUES_PER_PORT
setting in DPDK that are addressed by this patchset:

* The name does not make it clear that this is intended as an
  ethdev-only setting
* A number of other libraries are using this define rather than having
  more relevant defines for the particular usecase.
* The define is hard-coded in DPDK source code and is not adjustable via
  a build-time/meson option
* Because of the lack of configurability, the max is therefore set to a
  conservatively-high value, wasting memory.
* There is an assumption that the number of Rx queues and Tx queues
  should have the same maximum value. Depending on application, it may
  be desirable to have fan-in with multiple Rx queues e.g. for
  classification/filtering, feed a single Tx queue, or the opposite
  where, e.g. for QoS Tx scheduling, a few Rx queues feeds a very large
  number of Tx queues.

This patchset therefore addresses these by:

* replacing the single define for max queues with independent defines
  for Rx and Tx queues.
* adjusts the name to ensure that it is clear the defines are for
  ethports only. [ethports being used in the RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS setting].
* replaces occurances of RTE_MAX_QUEUES_PER_PORT with appropriate
  defines for non-ethdev use cases
* replaces all other internal occurances of the define with the new
  per-Rx and per-Tx definitions.
* adds meson config options to allow build-time configuration of the max
  Rx and Tx queue values.

Naming Note:
* The new meson config options are called "max_ethport_rx_queues" and
  "max_ethport_tx_queues" so that in the meson options list they appear
  alphabetically beside the existing "max_ethports" option.
* For naming consistency, the new C defines are therefore
  RTE_MAX_ETHPORT_RX_QUEUES and RTE_MAX_ETHPORT_TX_QUEUES.

V2:
* What was a single patch with "3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)" has now
  become a 26-patch set! :-)
* Created separate Rx and Tx defines
* Ensured that the name makes it clear that the define is for ethdev
* When updating internal use, created one patch per component for easier
  maintainer review. In most cases it was obvious whether Rx or Tx
  define should be used, but a few cases were less clear.
* Added documentation updates for the changes (release notes and
  deprecation notice), spread across 3 of the patches.
