Note: this patch depends upon Bruce's v3 patchset:

This patch is based on initial script for VSCode configuration:

This is basically 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 doesn'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 using 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.
