Note: this patch depends upon Bruce's v5 patchset:

This patch is based on initial script for VSCode configuration:

This is a TUI frontend for Meson. It is by no means meant to be used as a
replacement for using Meson proper, it is merely a shortcut for those who
constantly deal with creating new Meson build directories but don't want to type
out all components each time.

It relies on dependency graphs from the above Bruce's patchset (v3 introduced
support for optional dependencies, which this script requires) to work. It'll
create a Meson build directory in the background, enabling all options, and then
use both dependency graph and meson introspection to figure out what can be
built, and what dependencies it has.

With this script it is possible to produce very minimal builds - the script is
not only able to track dependencies between components to enable them, but it
can also (with a command line switch) specify which libraries we want to enable
(omitting those not required by currently selected components). This can be
useful for users who frequently reconfigure their tree with e.g. debug/release,
shared/static etc. builds while keeping the reconfiguration time fairly small.

We used to have a "setup.sh" script to "set up" DPDK. This is not that, but it's
a good start.
