A problem encountered with Mellanox PMDs and frequently reported by DPDK
application developers and Linux distribution package maintainers is their
dependency on rdma-core components, namely libibverbs, libmlx4, and libmlx5.

For best performance in applications, DPDK is normally built as a collection
of library archives (.a files), whose external dependencies are inherited
through rte.app.mk during link.

When these PMDs are built-in, any binary DPDK package, whether DPDK itself
or derived applications, always have to pull rdma-core. This dependency is
not obvious and may be missed during the packaging of any intermediate layer
between DPDK itself and the end application.

While still required during compilation, this series trades this hard
dependency for an optional one, dynamically loaded at run-time through
dlopen().

It supersedes Shachar's previous work on the same topic [1] using a
different approach in order to preserve symbol versioning and address
the remaining issues.

v2 changes:

- Rebased on dpdk-next-net-mlx.
- Rely on CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MLX[45]_DLOPEN_DEPS instead of
  CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB to enable this mode, so it can be overridden
  if necessary.
- Fixed -lmlx5 -libibverbs leftovers in rte.app.mk.
- Minor fixes for indentation and unnecessary includes in mlx5.
