Rather than checking for specific compiler versions, we should instead just
check for particular flags and use those.

Rather than adding support for this through DPDK project itself, this might
be better added to meson directly so that other projects can also benefit
from it. It also would fit in well with other meson options such as the
ASAN support, coverage support, or PGO support.
