[dpdk-dev] [RFC PATCH] meson: remove unnecessary explicit link to libpcap

libpcap is already found and registered as a dependency by meson, and
the dependency is already correctly used in librte_port. This line is
just unnecessary.

It also has the side effect of messing with the meson link line: dpdk
link will be declared twice: manually and then through pkg-config. If
you configure meson to prefer static linking over dynamic, this will
cause the build to fail on librte_port, since the pcap deps are not yet
seen by the linker.
