while the driver api is "internal" we agreed some time ago that drivers
could be built external to the dpdk tree. by enabling the meson setup
option -Denable_driver_sdk=true.

it was agreed that the driver api was internal and would attract no
binary compatibility support which was fine.  this change has now
imposed a further restriction that out of tree drivers have to be
authored in C only as non-C++ compatible code will invariably leak into
the internal structures.

you won't allow us to build C++ drivers in the dpdk tree and it seems
now you are preventing building of C++ drivers outside of the tree too.

could we please re-evaluate this.

thanks.

    lib: remove C++ include guard from private headers

    The private headers are compiled internally with a C compiler.
    Thus extern "C" declaration is useless in such files.
