[RFC PATCH 39/44] app/test: enable testing init using EAL config lib

Wed Apr 29 18:58:31 CEST 2026
To test the eal_cfg library initialization we need to bypass the regular
rte_eal_init() calls in the test binary, which requires a little bit of
rework to the existing test harness. Make those changes and then add
some very basic init testing using the rte_eal_cfg_init() function.
