  Add a hook in generic rte.sdkbuild.mk file
to include exec-env specific targets.

Signed-off-by: Jerin Jacob <jerin.jacob@caviumnetworks.com>
---
Useful in integrating some custom targets in nonstandard execution environments.
For example, a bare-metal-simulator exec execution environment may need
a target to run the dpdk applications.

This patch is just including an empty file.
Please explain how it can help with a real example.

Do you like to add check for the file is present or not ? and if present,
invoke the file.

We are evaluating on running DPDK on a nonstandard execution environment like
bare metal where I would to keep all my execution environment specific
change at following location. So that I can easy move around different
version of DPDK without merge conflict.

$(RTE_SDK)mk/exec-env/my-exec-env
$(RTE_SDK)lib/librte_eal/my-exec-env

I believe, The existing target like "exec-env-appinstall" in mk/exec-env/linuxapp/rte.app.mk,
solves the same purpose.

The dash prefixing does the check:
-include

I do not understand.
If you want to add a new environment, why not just adding it?

I do not understand it either. In exiting makefile infrastructure,
How do you add an exec environment specific target(s) with out changing
the common code?

As disucssed in IRC, I will send the v2 with following changes,
- Change mk/exec-env/$(RTE_EXEC_ENV)/rte.extra.mk to
mk/exec-env/$(RTE_EXEC_ENV)/rte.custom.mk
- Remove empty files and include through -include

It will help defining some new local environments.
However, in the general case, it is better to upstream environment changes
and make everybody able to use it.
