[EXTERNAL] [PATCH v7] examples: add Wycheproof validation app

[Akhil Goyal]

> Add a Wycheproof JSON vector validation example for cryptodev PMDs.
> 
> Support these algorithms when advertised by the selected PMD:
> - AEAD: AES-GCM, AES-CCM, SM4-GCM, ChaCha20-Poly1305
> - MAC: AES-CMAC, AES-GMAC, HMAC SHA-1/SHA-2/SHA-3/SM3
> - Asymmetric: DSA (P1363 verify), ECDSA (P1363 verify),
>   ECDH (ecpoint shared-secret compute)
> 
> Validate valid vectors against generated ciphertexts, tags, plaintexts,
> digests, shared secrets, or signature verification, and require the
> expected rejection for invalid vectors. Digest inputs for DSA and ECDSA
> use the symmetric auth path, selecting a separate symmetric-capable
> device when the target device is asymmetric-only.
> 
> Skip parameter combinations outside PMD capability ranges and identify
> recognized vector families without a compatible DPDK transform. A
> --debug option lists every failed or skipped vector.
> 
> Add Meson and standalone build integration, with usage documentation.

Why do we need a new application to perform test vector validation?
Is dpdk-test crypto tests not enough?
Can we integrate this in that?

And I do not see the .json file mentioned above in the patch.
There should be a sample file atleast.
