[PATCH] service: split tests to perf and autotest to avoid spurious CI failures

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

On some CI runs, some service-cores tests spuriously fail as the
service lcore thread is not actually scheduled by the OS in the
given amount of time.

Increasing timeouts has not resolved the issue in the CI, so the
solution in this patch is to move them to a separate perf test
suite.
