Subject: [PATCH] build: mention -march in pkg-config description
Applications need to at least match DPDK's -march option to build
successfully due to some static inline functions in the public headers.
This might cause problems, especially in distributions, so add a note
in the pkg-config description.
Fixes: a25a650be5f0 ("build: add infrastructure for meson and ninja builds")
