[dpdk-dev] [RFC 4/6] build: add meson option for abi related checks

[Kevin Laatz <kevin.laatz@intel.com>]

This patch adds a new meson option for running ABI compatibility checks
during the build. If enabled, the lib and drivers .so files will be
compared against any existing ABI dump files in lib|drivers/abi of the
source directory. If there are any incompatibilities, the build will fail
and display the incompatibility.
