[PATCH v3] test/service: fix spurious failures by extending timeout

[Harry van Haaren <harry.van.haaren@intel.com>]

This commit extends the timeout for service_may_be_active()
from 100ms to 1000ms. Local testing on a idle and loaded system
(compiling DPDK with all cores) always completes after 1 ms.

The wait time for a service-lcore to finish is also extended
from 100ms to 1000ms.

The same timeout waiting code was duplicated in two tests, and
is now refactored to a standalone function avoiding duplication.

v3:
- Use #define for timeout, and delay(1) (Mattias)
- Rework slcore-wait to use TIMEOUT_MS as well.

v2:
- v1 addressed only testcase 15 issue, v2 also addresses test
  case 5, which has an service-lcore wait code-path.
