This patch introduces uAPI headers importation into the
DPDK repository. This import is possible thanks to Linux
Kernel licence exception for syscalls:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/LICENS
ES/exceptions/Linux-syscall-note
Header files are have to be explicitly imported, and
libraries and drivers have to explicitly enable their
inclusion.
Guidelines are provided in the documentation, and a helper
script is also provided to ensure proper importation of the
header (unmodified content from a released Kernel version).
Next version will introduce a script to check headers are
valids.

Thanks Morten, I'll fix below typos and several build failures caught by
CI in next revision.

Suggest:
+ echo "Example of valid file: linux/vfio.h"
+ echo "Example of valid version: v6.10"
+Once imported, the header files should be committed without any other change,
+and the commit message MUST specify the imported version using ``uAPI ID:``
+tag and title MUST be prefixed with uapi keywork. For example::
"uAPI ID:" -> "uAPI Version"
"keywork" -> "keyword"
