[dpdk-dev] [RFC] mk: add config items to disable tools and tests

[Ferruh Yigit]

It is not possible to prevent compiling some tests and tools. These
enabled when a library or specific exec env enabled. This compilation
can be overkill for someone who is compiling DPDK just as library.

Adding two new config options, to completely enable/disable tools and
test. Both enable default, compatible with existing behavior.

This commit also shows app folder is used both for unit tests, test
tools and other tools for DPDK, it is possible to discuss separating
tests into a test folder.
