[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/3] build: remove special versioning for non stable libraries

[David Marchand <david.marchand@redhat.com>]

Having a special versioning for experimental/internal libraries put a
additional maintenance cost while this status is already announced in
MAINTAINERS and the library headers/documentation.
Following discussions and vote at 05/20 TB meeting [1], use a single
versioning for all libraries in DPDK.

Note: for the ABI check, an exception [2] had been added when tweaking
this special versioning [3].
Prefer explicit libabigail rules (which will be dropped in 20.11).
