[PATCH v2 5/5] build: select optional libraries

[David Marchand]

There is currently no way to know which libraries are optional.
Introduce a enable_libs option (close to what we have for drivers) so
that packagers or projects consuming DPDK can more easily select the
optional libraries that matter to them and disable other optional
libraries.

Note: the enabled_libs variable is renamed for sake of consistency.
