  Rather than have each forward engines deal with core cycles recording,
move this to testpmd common code.
fwd engines just need to report that they did some busy work.

By doing this, get_*_cycles() helpers are unneeded and removed.

Signed-off-by: David Marchand <david.marchand@redhat.com>

Changes since v1:
- removed (now unneeded) get_*_cycles() helpers,
- removed unrelated changes on noisy_vnf change,
