libbpf: Implement SHA256 internal helper

Use AF_ALG sockets to not have libbpf depend on OpenSSL. The helper is
used for the loader generation code to embed the metadata hash in the
loader program and also by the bpf_map__make_exclusive API to calculate
the hash of the program the map is exclusive to.
