netdev-afxdp: Allow building with libxdp and newer libbpf.

AF_XDP functions was deprecated in libbpf 0.7 and moved to libxdp.
Functions bpf_get/set_link_xdp_id() was deprecated in libbpf 0.8
and replaced with bpf_xdp_query_id() and bpf_xdp_attach/detach().

Updating configuration and source code to accommodate above changes
and allow building OVS with AF_XDP support on newer systems:

 - Checking the version of libbpf by detecting availability
   of bpf_xdp_detach.

 - Checking availability of the libxdp in a system by looking
   for a library providing libxdp_strerror(), if libbpf is
   newer than 0.6.  And checking for xsk.h header provided by
   libxdp-dev[el].

 - Use xsk.h from libbpf if it is older than 0.7 and not linking
   with libxdp in this case as there are known incompatible
   versions of libxdp in distributions.

 - Check for the NEED_WAKEUP feature replaced with direct checking
   in the source code if XDP_USE_NEED_WAKEUP is defined.

 - Checking availability of bpf_xdp_query_id and bpf_xdp_detach
   and using them instead of deprecated APIs.  Fall back to old
   functions if not found.

 - Dropped LIBBPF_LDADD variable as it makes library and function
   detection much harder without providing any actual benefits.
   AC_SEARCH_LIBS is used instead and it allows use of AC_CHECK_FUNCS.

 - Header includes moved around to files where they are actually used.

 - Removed libelf dependency as it is not really used.

With these changes it should be possible to build OVS with either:

 - libbpf built from the kernel sources (5.19 or older).
 - libbpf < 0.7 provided in distributions.
 - libxdp and libbpf >= 0.7 provided in newer distributions.

While it is technically possible to build with libbpf 0.7+ without
libxdp at the moment we're not allowing that for a few reasons.
First, required functions in libbpf are deprecated and can be removed
in future releases.  Second, support for all these combinations makes
the detection code fairly complex.
AFAIK, most of the distributions packaging libbpf 0.7+ do package
libxdp as well.

libxdp added as a build dependency for Fedora build since all
supported versions of Fedora are packaging this library.
