net/ionic: support vdev for embedded applications

Add support for running DPDK applications directly on AMD Pensando
embedded HW. The platform exposes the device BARs through UIO. The
UIO code in the common/ionic library walks the sysfs filesystem
to identify the relevant BARs and map them into process memory.

The SoCs are named 'Capri' and 'Elba'.

The vdev device interface code is located in ionic_dev_vdev.c.

Some datapath operations are #ifdef-ed out to save on resources when
running in embedded mode.

Some control path operations are skipped by the ionic_is_embedded()
helper function.

Before ringing the doorbell, use an ARM 'dsb st' barrier. The normal
barrier inside rte_write64() is insufficient on these devices due to
a chip errata.
