[dpdk-stable] [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4] meter: provide experimental alias of API for old apps

[Ray Kinsella <mdr@ashroe.eu>]

From: Ferruh Yigit <ferruh.yigit@intel.com>

On v20.02 some meter APIs have been matured and symbols moved from
EXPERIMENTAL to DPDK_20.0.1 block.

This can break the applications that were using these mentioned APIs on
v19.11. Although there is no modification on the APIs and the action is
positive and matures the APIs, the affect can be negative to
applications.

Since experimental APIs can change or go away without notice as part of
contract, to prevent this negative affect that may occur by maturing
experimental API, a process update already suggested, which enables
aliasing without forcing it:
https://patches.dpdk.org/patch/65863/

This patch provides aliasing by duplicating the existing and versioned
symbols as experimental.

Since symbols moved from DPDK_20.0.1 to DPDK_21 block in the v20.05, the
aliasing done between EXPERIMENTAL and DPDK_21.

Also following changes done to enabling aliasing:

Created VERSION_SYMBOL_EXPERIMENTAL helper macro.

Updated the 'check-symbols.sh' buildtool, which was complaining that the
symbol is in EXPERIMENTAL tag in .map file but it is not in the
.experimental section (__rte_experimental tag is missing).
Updated tool in a way it won't complain if the symbol in the
EXPERIMENTAL tag duplicated in some other block in .map file (versioned)

Enabled function versioning for meson build for the library.

Fixes: 30512af820fe ("meter: remove experimental flag from RFC4115 trTCM API")
