=========================================================
* **Service cores API updated for usability**
The service cores API has been changed, removing pointers from the API
where possible, instead using integer IDs to identify each service. This
simplifed application code, aids debugging, and provides better
encapsulation. A summary of the main changes made is as follows:
* Services identified by ID not by ``rte_service_spec`` pointer
* Reduced API surface by using ``set`` functions instead of enable/disable
* Reworked ``rte_service_register`` to provide the service ID to registrar
* Rework start and stop APIs into ``rte_service_runstate_set``
* Added API to set runstate of service implementation to indicate readyness
