[v5,0/8] HelloWorld example for windows

  Includes Windows-specific EAL changes and meson changes
to build the code on windows.

v5 Changes:
1. Reduced meson workrounds for windows.
2. Updated documention to include details about buildtool options

v4 Changes:
1. Exposed more functions for eal DLL in the module definition file
2. Moved disabling meson logic to sub directories

v3 Changes:
1. Separated meson workarounds from the essential code changes
2. Added support for kvargs
3. Updated meson for building DLL on windows using DEF files
4. Fixed documentation for html links and linker dependency
5. Added comments for windows header and source files

v2 Changes:
1. Incorporated reviews from v1.
2. Fixed license period for updated files.
3. Renamed 'winapp' folder to 'windows'.
4. Cleaned unneeded meson changes.
5. Fixed code style warnings. 
6. Added maintainers information for windows branch

notes:
*patch 8/8 contains meson workarounds to build helloworld
on windows, which will later be a part of the draft repository

*command-line parsing is not a part of this version as a result
lcore mask is currently not supported.

*kernel modules and documentation can not be built on windows 
currently and should not be enabled.
