Add a new helper function rte_lcore_is_eal_managed() to determine

I'm not sure about adding this function in the API.
We already have rte_eal_lcore_role()
and I feel having this explicit ROLE_RTE || ROLE_SERVICE
in the code where needed may be less confusing.
Ack.
Note: we should prefix these constants with RTE_LCORE_
Yeah, it's good.
This will break API. And we can do this in 26.11.
