[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/2] eal: fix shared lib mode detection

Commit 06c7871dde01 ("eal: restrict default plugin path to shared lib mode")
introduced a check that enabled shared lib mode when librte_eal.so can
be loaded, but it can't work, at least, on Fedora/CentOS/RHEL since .so
symlinks are not installed when you install dpdk package, but only when
you install dpdk-devel package.

This commit uses librte_eal.so.ABI_VERSION to check for shared lib,
since it exists on any linux distributions.
