[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] build: provide suitable error for "both" libraries option

[Bruce Richardson]

Rather than having the DPDK configuration error out when linking apps
and examples when "both" is select for "default_library" option, we can
detect that setting earlier in the build config and provide a suitable
error message to the user.

Yes, to have it a valid English sentence. If there are no other comments to
fix I'll not do a v2 for it alone, though - committers, feel free to add
one on apply.
