meson error on ARM Grace server 23.11/22.11

Hi,

At the DPDK Community Lab we have been running CI tests with a new ARM
Grace server for the past couple of months on main and next-* branches. I
am trying to add LTS runs now, and ran into a snag with 23.11 and 22.11 for
this system. Stable maintainers I'm not sure whether this should be
addressed or not for hardware which is new and didn't exist when 22.11 and
23.11 were released... but I figured I'd make the tickets and find out. I
attached the meson logs to the tickets and if for whatever reason you guys
want to remote into this machine, I'm happy to setup the VPN and SSH
access.

22.11: https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1703
23.11: https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1702

Assuming this only requires some changes in meson to accommodate, I'd
be fine in accepting a patch for 22.11 that enables it, if someone
were to send it. If it requires more invasive changes then it would
need to be evaluated for risk.

neoverse-v2 is supported in the GCC 13.3 used for this build although -mtune/-mcpu
for grace is not available in that version.
Adding neoverse-v2 and soc_grace with crypto extension should bring these releases
on par with latest.
