MRE updates of dpdk 23.11.1(Noble)/22.11.5(Mantic)/21.11.7(Jammy)

[Miriam España Acebal]

23.11.1 for Oracular is in -proposed and nearly to be completed. Therefore the MREs for Noble, Mantic and Jammy can be handled now (Mantic EOL will occur at the end of July, so we're trying to update it before it happens, but it might be optional at the end).

This bug tracks an update for the DPDK packages in:
- Noble 23.11 -> 23.11.1
- Mantic 22.11.4 -> 22.11.5
- Jammy 21.11.6 -> 21.11.7

This update includes bugfixes only following the SRU policy exception defined at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/DPDK.

No new features added; a classic stable release with a bunch of fixes aggregated and enhanced testing by the companies being part of the DPDK community.

[Test Plan]

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/DPDK#SRU_TestVerify

[Regression Potential]

Upstream performs extensive testing before release, giving us a high degree of confidence in the general case. There problems are most likely to manifest in Ubuntu-specific integrations, such as in relation to the versions of dependencies available and other packaging-specific matters.
Therefore that is what our verification focuses on.

The issue in openvswitch tests with the new release has been fixed (Only Noble onwards).
See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvswitch/+bug/2067889

You might coordinate with Frode if/when that will land in OVS in Noble.
That might be full 3.3.1 (if that is what they planned) or just the test fix and keeping it in block-proposed as it has no real value for the end user.

I heard nothing bad of 21.11.7 or 22.11.5 yet, so they should (tm) be fine.

Overall this should be unblocked for when you are back @mirespace

Frode mentioned he will aim at doing the OVS upload in the next pulse. To track that I've opened bug 2069991 for him, which allows us to track it.
