Can remove "-DALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_API" (or "allow_experimental_apis = true" for
meson) from drivers/raw/ifpga_rawdev when these APIs are not experimental anymore.
For reference: https://patches.dpdk.org/patch/45836/

It is easy to know when to add "-DALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_API" but it is hard to know
when to remove one, some helper should be good there.
