eal: handle compressed firmware

Introduce an internal firmware loading helper to remove code duplication
in our drivers and handle xz compressed firmware by calling libarchive.

This helper tries to look for .xz suffixes so that drivers are not aware
the firmware has been compressed.

libarchive is set as an optional dependency: without libarchive, a
runtime warning is emitted so that users know there is a compressed
firmware.

Windows implementation is left as an empty stub.

ci: hook to GitHub Actions

With the recent changes in terms of free access to the Travis CI, let's
offer an alternative with GitHub Actions.
Running jobs on ARM is not supported unless using external runners, so
this commit only adds builds for x86_64 and cross compiling for i386 and
aarch64.

Differences with the Travis CI integration:
- Error logs are not dumped to the console when something goes wrong.
Instead, they are gathered in a "catch-all" step and attached as
artifacts.
- A cache entry is stored once and for all, but if no cache is found you
can inherit from the default branch cache. The cache is 5GB large, for
the whole git repository.
- The maximum retention of logs and artifacts is 3 months.
- /home/runner is world writable, so a workaround has been added for
starting dpdk processes.
- Ilya, working on OVS GHA support, noticed that jobs can run with
processors that don't have the same capabilities. For DPDK, this
impacts the ccache content since everything was built with
-march=native so far, and we will end up with binaries that can't run
in a later build. The problem has not been seen in Travis CI (?) but
it is safer to use a fixed "-Dmachine=default" in any case.
- Scheduling jobs is part of the configuration and takes the form of a
crontab. A build is scheduled every Monday at 0:00 (UTC) to provide a
default ccache for the week (useful for the ovsrobot).

ci: reorganise Travis jobs

Let's prune the jobs list to limit the amount of time spent by the robot
in Travis.

Since meson enables automatically the relevant components, there is not
much gain in testing with extra_packages vs required_packages.

For a given arch/compiler/env combination, compilation is first tested
in all jobs that run tests or build the docs or run the ABI checks.
In the same context, for jobs that accumulates running tests, building
the docs etc..., those steps are independent and can be split to save
some cpu on Travis.

With this, we go down from 21 to 15 jobs.

Note: this patch requires a flush of the existing caches in Travis.

Maintaining the .travis.yml requires some knowledge of how Travis

Let's switch to an explicit list to find all jobs at a glance.

To enhance readability, jobs have been sorted per arch/compiler with
comments to isolate blocks.

Setting required_packages for aarch64 native jobs is unnecessary,
the global addons: values are the same.

This commit does not change the jobs list (21 jobs in total).

ci: fix Travis config warnings

Reading https://config.travis-ci.com/ and using
https://config.travis-ci.com/explore to check changes, we can cleanup
some warnings reported by the config validation options in Travis.

Example on a job in master:
https://travis-ci.com/DPDK/dpdk/builds/149537002/config

Build config validation:
root: deprecated key doc_packages (anchor on a non-private key)
root: deprecated key build_32b_packages (anchor on a non-private key)
root: deprecated key libabigail_build_packages (anchor on a non-private key)
root: deprecated key extra_packages (anchor on a non-private key)
root: deprecated key aarch64_packages (anchor on a non-private key)
root: key matrix is an alias for jobs, using jobs

For the "(anchor on a non-private key)" warnings, the Travis
documentation [1] recommends prefixing private keys with _ (Travis
schema is available at [2]).

The use of the "matrix" key is allowed, but it is just an alias to the
"jobs" key.

devtools: add ABI checks

For normal developers, those checks are disabled.

Enabling them requires a configuration that will trigger the ABI dumps
generation as part of the existing devtools/test-build.sh and
devtools/test-meson-builds.sh scripts.

Those checks are enabled in the CI for the default meson options on x86
and aarch64 so that proposed patches are validated via our CI robot.
A cache of the ABI is stored in travis jobs to avoid rebuilding too
often.

Checks can be informational only, by setting ABI_CHECKS_WARN_ONLY when
breaking the ABI in a future release.

Explicit suppression rules have been added on internal structures
exposed to crypto drivers as the current ABI policy does not apply to
them.
This could be improved in the future by carefully splitting the headers
content with application and driver "users" in mind.

We currently have issues reported for librte_crypto recent changes for
which suppression rules have been added too.

Mellanox glue libraries are explicitly skipped as they are not part of
the application ABI.
