Replace master lcore with main lcore and
replace slave lcore with worker lcore.
Keep the old functions and macros but mark them as deprecated
for this release.
The "--master-lcore" command line option is also deprecated
and any usage will print a warning and use "--main-lcore"
as replacement.

The option RTE_EAL_ALWAYS_PANIC_ON_ERROR was off by default,
and not customizable with meson. It is completely removed.
The function rte_dump_registers is a trace of the bare metal support
era, and was not supported in userland. It is completely removed.

DPDK allows calling some part of its API from a non-EAL thread but this
has some limitations.
OVS (and other applications) has its own thread management but still
want to avoid such limitations by hacking RTE_PER_LCORE(_lcore_id) and
faking EAL threads potentially unknown of some DPDK component.
Introduce a new API to register non-EAL thread and associate them to a
free lcore with a new NON_EAL role.
This role denotes lcores that do not run DPDK mainloop and as such
prevents use of rte_eal_wait_lcore() and consorts.
Multiprocess is not supported as the need for cohabitation with this new
feature is unclear at the moment.
