acinclude: Provide better error info when linking fails with DPDK.
Currently, on failure to link with DPDK, the configure script provides an error message to update the PKG_CONFIG_PATH even though the cause of failure was missing dependencies. Improve the error message to include this scenario. Signed-off-by: Sunil Pai G <sunil.pai.g@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ilya Maximets <i.maximets@ovn.org>
