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.

At the moment there are no adversely affected applications in Debian and
Ubuntu (collectd builds a separate shared object, and OVS/virtio-forwareder
are stand-alone DPDK-specific binaries), but we thought that having an
explicit notice would be good.
