Allow to setup timers only for EAL (lcore) threads (__lcore_id < MAX_LCORE_ID).
E.g. – dynamically created thread will be able to reset/stop timer for lcore thread,
but it will be not allowed to setup timer for itself or another non-lcore thread.
rte_timer_manage() for non-lcore thread would simply do nothing and return straightway.

 v5 changes:
   add assert in rte_timer_manage
   remove duplicate check in timer_set_config_state

About ' lcore_id != LCORE_ID_ANY' vs ' lcore_id < RTE_MAX_LCORE'.
I think both ways are valid right now.
Though using ' lcore_id != LCORE_ID_ANY' means, that if user will setup
PER_LCORE(_lcore_id) for dynamically created thread to some value >=  RTE_MAX_LCORE,  
then our code will not work properly.

[LCM] Ok, now we get the agreement as below.
1. only using '< RTE_MAX_LCORE' to check the EAL thread with valid lcore_id.
2. LCORE_ID_ANY is used as lcore_id default value or used for any  unspecified lcore_id assignment.

Doing like this is fine for me, although I don't really agree with
the initial argument: it's should not be allowed for an application
to modify an eal variable (_lcore_id).
