A new boolean meson build flag is introduced with this patch: rte_debug.
To enable this option add -Drte_debug=true to the meson configure command.
By enabling this flag the globaly defined macro RTE_DEBUG becomes
defined. It should be used for enabling debug code in all dpdk project
components. Using this flag allows to make additional checks or tests
and provide additional logs even in performance sensitive parts of code.
The flag is disabled by default.
Additionally for all enabled to be built libraries
a RTE_DEBUG_{library name} is defined and assigned a value 1.
This standardize names of library specific debug macros. Those can
be used also without rte_debug option by using CFLAGS="-D..." build
parameter.
Code put inside RTE_DEBUG* #ifdef sections should be also put inside
if (rte_log_can_log(...)) condition to allow run-time filtering of
sanity checks, validations, logs and dumps when using rte_debug option.
Libraries will be adjusted to the change in separate patches.
