DPDK build configuration - future enhancements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are multiple requests (sometimes controversial) for new abilities
to add into DPDK build system.  
In particular, request from few different teams:
  - add ability to enable/disable individual apps/libs
  - override some build settings for specific libs/drivers
As a first step to move forward - produce design doc of current build system.
Discuss further enhancements based on that doc.
While planning changes to the build system backward compatibility
with 20.11 should be considered.
AR to Bruce to create initial version of the DD.
