feat(ldpc_aal): Do not try EAL init if FHI 7.2 is enabled

When FHI 7.2 is enabled, the EAL initialization is done by the FHI and
the attempt to init EAL by ldpc_aal will fail. In that case, it is not
necessary neither to provide a DPDK core list for BBDEV.

This MR offers to skip EAL init in ldpc_aal when FHI 7.2 is enabled in
order to avoid error messages in the log and to allow dropping the
useless DPDK cores argument in that case.

Also add some fixes to the LDPC offload documentation.
