From: Gabriel Ganne <gabriel.ga...@6wind.com>
The pcap PMD and the librte_port both declare their dependency to libpcap
with a line "ext_deps += pcap_dep".
Then meson automatically adds this dependency to the pkg-config file
in the "Requires.private" section for static builds.
The additional update of dpdk_extra_ldflags was adding the dependency
in the "Libs.private" section of the pkg-config, that is unnecessary.

I have a doubt whether this option is really always useless.
In the case of an old pcap (<1.9) without pkg-config support,
and with the minimum meson supported (0.47.1),
are we sure the generated pkg-config file will include -lpcap?
