[dpdk-dev,v2] mk: fix build with shared pcap pmd

  Some applications doesn't have the pcap link flag
when shared libraries are enabled.
Indeed in such case, pcap PMD must not be linked but pcap library should.

Actually -lpcap is always needed if pcap PMD is used,
and -lrte_pmd_pcap must be set only with static PMD library.
So the flags -lrte_pmd_pcap and -lpcap are enabled separately.

Workarounds in test-pmd/ and test-pipeline/ can be removed.

Actually, what if we just add $(LDFLAGS) to the O_TO_S rule in mk/rte.lib.mk?
Then in lib/librte_pmd_pcap/Makefile, we can just add LDFLAGS+=-lpcap, and the
loading of the pcap pmd will itself require the loading of libpcap.  That would
be a nice clean implementation that allows applications to just link the pmd and
not have to worry about dependencies.  It would also allow us to clean up other
dependencies like the xenvirt pmd and vhost.

Yes it makes sense. Could you test it please?
What about applying my patch (which keep the existing logic) as a first
fix/clean-up and then move -lpcap in PMD as a second step?
Proceeding this way would allow to integrate a safe fix for 1.8.0.
Maybe that linking pcap in the PMD could unveil new bugs with some distributions,
so it would need some time to validate it.

ACK, I'm fine with your patch currently.  I'll revisit this after 1.8 is
released
