[PATCH] build: bump meson version to remove warnings

[PATCH] build: bump meson version to remove warnings

[Bruce Richardson]

The build of DPDK now uses features from version 0.6 of meson, which is
greater than the current minimum of 0.57.2. Although these features are
non-critical, they do cause warnings to be emitted on build. Increase
minimum meson version to 0.61 (== version in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS) to remove
these warnings.

With this patch, and the previously submitted patchset for assigning test
cases to the various categories/suites, all warnings in the meson
configuration stage should now be gone.

In terms of the specific version, as noted above I chose the version of
meson present in Ubuntu 22.04 as a reasonable baseline. Both debian stable,
and debian old-stable have newer versions than that in them. For the RHEL
line, I'm not sure what the baseline is, but I believe that RHEL 8 shipped
originally with a meson version even older than 0.57, so moving to a later
one I hope doesn't matter. [I wasn't easily able to find out from Google
what the current meson version in RHEL 8/9/10 is]
