[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] Add build option to enable/disable AVX2 support

[Felix Moessbauer <felix.moessbauer@siemens.com>]

This patch introduces a meson option to disable the AVX2 support.
If the build should be for a target without AVX2 support, the
know can be turned to false, even if the compiler supports AVX2.
