  This set of changes fixes warnings seen when compiling DPDK on Fedora 30.
In most cases these warnings appear to be false positives, which means we
have the option to just disable the warning. Because the changes required
to the code to silence the warnings are fairly small I've chosen in all cases
to change the code rather than disable the warnings, but I'm open to doing
the opposite if it's felt it's a better solution. [One thing I didn't like
about disabling the warnings is that the disabling flags are not supported
by clang, so adding them involves compiler checks :-(]

NOTE: this set does not cover all warnings with GCC9, but it does cover
those seen when building with meson. There is still one warning disable
flag needed when building with make, which will need a follow-on set to
fix.

I had a comment on patch 2, and the bigger problem is
-Waddress-of-packed-member.
The quicker solution for now is to downgrade it to warning only so that we
can fix the parts later rather than globally disable it.

Well, it is already a warning, it's just that with make we build by default
with -Werror when building from git.
Also, that particular warning is already disabled for clang compilation, so
extending that to being disabled for gcc seems fine for a fix for this
release.

Err, why don't we have -Werror for meson ?

Because it's generally not a good idea to use -Werror by default. However,
the test-meson-build script (which we should all be using for test
compilation before upstreaming) sets it for all builds.

Yes ok, so that old releases still build on newer toolchains.
As for the test-meson-builds.sh and test-build.sh scripts, they are still
widely unknown except by maintainers.
But at least, the ci build script would catch the errors, since it
configures with "meson build --werror -Dexamples=all $OPTS"
