Hello,

I have updated odp & odp-dpdk packages on mentors.d.n.

This upload uses alternatives to select ODP library to be used.

I have moved several executables to /usr/bin and removed the rest of them.

This upload does not have manpages for those binaries, I will fix that in
the next upload.

Could you please review alternatives system, so that I can be sure that
I've used them correctly?
