Improvements to the FHI for enabling further use cases
These changes to the FHI were primarily thought to enable the integration of
the intel ACC ( !3344 ) in parallel of the FHI.
I preferred to make a separate MR because I believe this topic is orthogonal
enough to be handled separately and because I wanted to bring even further
improvements.
The improvements that it actually brings are:
- Enable compiling and running xran F release with DPDK 21+
- Enable including a BBDEV device in addition of the ethernet device for the
FHI when performing EAL init, which is necessary for using the intel ACC
with the FHI.
- Fix an issue in usage of pkgconfig in xran E and F release. This enables to
reliably build xran with the version of DPDK requested to pkgconfig while
before this fix xran was always selecting the headers installed in /usr/local.
