[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] build: add meson support for icc

[Andrius Sirvys]

When building with mason, checks if the compiler is icc. If they match,
the warning_flags are changed to ensure icc compilation is successful.

Disabled error 3656: "variable may be used before its value is set"
in librte_telemetry, bnx2x, ixgbe and sfc as they were false positives.

Looks ok to me.

If you are up for it, could you also do an additional patch to add an icc
build to "test-meson-builds.sh" if icc is found on the system?

I'm really not sure about supporting icc.
It may be hard to get a license for icc.
And it is not available as a simple package.
It means we are adding code that the community cannot test.
I think we should rely on free compilers only.

PS: I'm not even talking about the suspicious verification done
by the installers of the suites including icc.
