Add a deprecation notice informing users that we will require a C11
compiler from 23.11 release onwards. This requirement was agreed by
technical board to enable use of newer C language features, e.g.
standard atomics. [1]

Deprecation Notices
-------------------
+* C Compiler: From DPDK 23.11 onwards,
+ building DPDK will require a C compiler which supports the C11 standard, or later.
+ Please note:
+ - C11 is supported from GCC version 5 onwards, and is the default language version in that release
+ - C11 is the default compilation mode in Clang from version 3.6
+
* kvargs: The function ``rte_kvargs_process`` will get a new parameter
for returning key match count. It will ease handling of no-match case.
