PATCH 1/1 pcap: fix build of all-in-one shared library

Build of some of the test binaries fails when the following flags are enabled:

CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_PCAP=y
CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB=y
CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_COMBINE_LIBS=y

The binarieas are missing symbols from libpcap. This
patch adds the missing '-lpcap' linker flag into the respective Makefiles.

NAK, it doesn't seem to be the proper fix. LDFLAGS should be automatically filled in rte.vars.mk. Will send another proposal.

PATCH v2 1/1 mk: fix build with shared pcap pmd

Some applications doesn't have the pcap link flag
when shared libraries are enabled.
Indeed in such case, pcap PMD must not be linked but pcap library should.

Actually -lpcap is always needed if pcap PMD is used, and -lrte_pmd_pcap must be set only with static PMD library. So the flags -lrte_pmd_pcap and -lpcap are enabled separately.

Workarounds in test-pmd/ and test-pipeline/ can be removed.

Actually, what if we just add $(LDFLAGS) to the O_TO_S rule in mk/rte.lib.mk? Then in lib/librte_pmd_pcap/Makefile, we can just add LDFLAGS+=-lpcap, and the loading of the pcap pmd will itself require the loading of libpcap. That would be a nice clean implementation that allows applications to just link the pmd and not have to worry about dependencies. It would also allow us to clean up other dependencies like the xenvirt pmd and vhost.

Yes it makes sense. Could you test it please?
What about applying my patch (which keep the existing logic) as a first fix/clean-up and then move -lpcap in PMD as a second step? Proceeding this way would allow to integrate a safe fix for 1.8.0. Maybe that linking pcap in the PMD could unveil new bugs with some distributions, so it would need some time to validate it.
