[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] build: fix install from arbitrary directory for meson 0.55

Install command for meson >= 0.55.0 referenced the script by a plain
string, assuming the build directory to be directly under the source
tree root. This resulted in an error when the assumption did not hold:

    c:\python\python.exe: can't open file
    '../buildtools/symlink-drivers-solibs.py':
    [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Use files() to make a valid script path for any build directory.

Note: this is not limited to Windows, it just happens that Windows
requires newer meson and the error example is from Windows build.
