The decision to deliver mlx4/mlx5 rdma-core glue plug-ins separately instead
of generating them at run time due to security concerns [1] led to a few
issues:

- They must be present on the file system before running DPDK.
- Their location must be known to the dynamic linker.
- Their names overlap and ABI compatibility is not guaranteed, which may
  lead to crashes.

This series addresses the above by adding version information to plug-ins
and taking CONFIG_RTE_EAL_PMD_PATH into account to locate them on the file
system.
