Remove the option since it does not seem necessary.

To remove this, I think we should order libraries in a way:

pmd -> librte -> external libraries.
Than we can remove --whole-archive too.

And perhaps keep it still to wrap around librte_eal and librte_mempool,
which still has cyclic dependencies.
