  GitHub is a service used by developers to store repositories.  GitHub
provides service integrations that allow 3rd party services to access
developer repositories and perform actions.  One of these services is
Travis-CI, a simple continuous integration platform.

This is a simple initial implementation of a travis build for the DPDK
project.  It doesn't require any changes from individual developers to
enable, but will allow those developers who opt-in to GitHub and the
travis service to get automatic builds for every push they make.

Additionally, the travis service will send an email to the test-report
list informing anyone interested in the automated build (including a
result).

v3:
  - Renamed ambiguous variable names and comments, including the variable
    KERNEL to DISABLE_KERNEL_MODULES and comment 'source for python' to
    'Repo for python'
  - Removed duplicate file meson_cross_aarch64_gcc.txt. Used
    arm64_armv8_linuxapp_gcc file instead

Hi Michael/Aaron,
	Thanks for adding the Arm build. I have few comments inline.

My understanding is we need to list 'ARM64=1' and 'ARM64=1 NINJABUILD=1' here.
