DPDK still has many libraries which cannot be disabled as part of a build. With the ongoing work to make it easier to only build a subset of the libraries in DPDK, we can also work to expand the list of libraries which can be enabled/disabled as desired.
This patch addresses a number of the "low-hanging fruit" libraries, where only the unit test builds need minor changes to support making the library optional. The rest of the build system is already well set up for selective disabling of libraries. For better support of enabling components, especially those more integrated into DPDK unit tests, rework of the test meson.build file is likely needed. For example, it could probably be better rewritten to use a dictionary of files and the dependencies of each file, and the unit test commands each provides. However, such rework is a significant effort, and outside the scope of this patchset.
