RE: [RFC] Define well known packet burst sizes

A while back we had the same idea, except that it should be platform specific
Ex., for CNXK optimal burst size across workloads is 64.

Instead of rte_config.h maybe we should have it as a meson option in 
meson_options.txt with default as 32.

That way platforms can also modify it in config/<arch>/meson.build
