AF_XDP support is deprecated in libbpf since v0.7.0 [1]. The
libxdp library now provides the functionality which once was in
libbpf and which the AF_XDP PMD relies on. This commit updates the
AF_XDP meson build to use the libxdp library if a version >= v1.3.0 is
available. If it is not available, only versions of libbpf prior to v0.7.0
are allowed, as they still contain the required AF_XDP functionality.

libbpf still remains a dependency even if libxdp is present, as we
use libbpf APIs for program loading.

The minimum required kernel version for libxdp for use with AF_XDP is v5.3.
For the library to be fully-featured, a kernel v5.10 or newer is
recommended. The full compatibility information can be found in the libxdp
README.

v1.3.0 of libxdp includes an important fix required for linking with
DPDK which is why this version or greater is required. Meson uses
pkg-config to verify the version of libxdp on the system, so it is
necessary that the library is discoverable using pkg-config in order for
the PMD to use it. To verify this, you can run:
pkg-config --modversion libxdp

RFC -> v1:
* Set minimum libxdp version at v1.3.0
* Don't provide alternative to discovery via pkg-config
