[PATCH 2/2] eal: add meson options for hotplug MP message buffer sizes

[Long Li <longli@microsoft.com>]

Add meson build options to allow increasing the multi-process hotplug
message buffer limits at build time for deployments with many NICs:
- 'dev_mp_devargs_max_len' (default 128): max device args length
- 'mp_max_param_len' (default 256): max MP IPC message param length

Example: meson setup build -Ddev_mp_devargs_max_len=256 -Dmp_max_param_len=512

Guard the existing #defines with #ifndef so the meson-generated values
from rte_build_config.h take precedence when overridden.

Add a static_assert to ensure eal_dev_mp_req fits within the MP message
param buffer, catching misconfiguration at compile time.

Note: all primary and secondary processes must be built with the same
values, as these sizes affect shared IPC message struct layouts.
