Subject: [PATCH v4 4/7] service cores: add unit tests
X-Mailer: git-send-email 2.7.4

Add a bunch of unit tests, to ensure that the service
core functions are operating as expected.

As part of these tests a dummy service is registered which
allows identifying if a service callback has been invoked
by using the CPU tick counter. This allows identifying if
functions to start and stop service lcores are actually having
effect.

v4:
- Remove static slcore_id, make service-core choice dynamic (Jerin)
- Use lcore_get_next() to acquire service cores (Jerin)
- Improve unit test to ensure app can remote_launc() on a core that
  previously served as a service-core (verifies ROLE_RTE is set) (Jerin)

IMO, it has the unit testcases for every API now.
