[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] build: get version number from header file

[Thomas Monjalon]

The header file rte_version.h should be the unique place
to define the version number.
The makefile command "showversion" makes it accessible,
and it is used to set the meson project version with an external command.

I don't know how to check easily the meson version number.
Please help in testing, thanks.
