[Bug 1920141] Re: [SRU] openvswitch 2.13.3 / linking changes in DPDK 19.11.x

[Christian Ehrhardt ]

Changes to remove:
f49248a990 Revert "Revert "build/pkg-config: prevent overlinking""
39586a4cf0 Revert "Revert "build/pkg-config: improve static linking flags""
906e935a1f Revert "Revert "build/pkg-config: output drivers first for static build""
deebf95239 Revert "Revert "build/pkg-config: move pkg-config file creation""
a3bd9a34bf Revert "Revert "build: always link whole DPDK static libraries""
d4bc124438 Revert "Revert "devtools: test static linkage with pkg-config""

This series changes linking behavior in 19.11.x and thereby should stay
out. It breaks - for example - a rebuild of OVS 2.13 or builds
of later OVS 2.13.x stable releases.

File moved on: deebf952 "build/pkg-config: move pkg-config file creation"
Later changes to buildtools/pkg-config/meson.build that we need to re-create.
3f33f5056 build: fix plugin load on static build
4a2baf099 build: fix linker flags on Windows
Those have to take place in meson.build after this is all reverted and gone.

I have sent the proposal to remove that to stable at dpdk.org as I want to
get the buy in there to not re-re-re-re-revert later :-)

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  This release sports mostly bug-fixes and we would like to make sure all of our
  supported customers have access to these improvements.

  The update contains the following package updates:

     * openvswitch 2.13.3

  [Test Case]
  The following SRU process was followed:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenStackUpdates

  In order to avoid regression of existing consumers, the OpenStack team will
  run their continuous integration test against the packages that are in
  -proposed. A successful run of all available tests will be required before the
  proposed packages can be let into -updates.

  The OpenStack team will be in charge of attaching the output summary of the
  executed tests. The OpenStack team members will not mark ‘verification-done’ until
  this has happened.

  [Regression Potential]
  In order to mitigate the regression potential, the results of the
  aforementioned tests are attached to this bug.
