====================
libbpf: type suffixes and autocreate flag for struct_ops maps

Tweak struct_ops related APIs to allow the following features:
- specify version suffixes for stuct_ops map types;
- share same BPF program between several map definitions with
  different local BTF types, assuming only maps with same
  kernel BTF type would be selected for load;
- toggle autocreate flag for struct_ops maps;
- automatically toggle autoload for struct_ops programs referenced
  from struct_ops maps, depending on autocreate status of the
  corresponding map;
- use SEC("?.struct_ops") and SEC("?.struct_ops.link")
  to define struct_ops maps with autocreate == false after object open.

This would allow loading programs like below:

    SEC("struct_ops/foo") int BPF_PROG(foo) { ... }
    SEC("struct_ops/bar") int BPF_PROG(bar) { ... }

    struct bpf_testmod_ops___v1 {
        int (*foo)(void);
    };

    struct bpf_testmod_ops___v2 {
        int (*foo)(void);
        int (*bar)(void);
    };

    /* Assume kernel type name to be 'test_ops' */
    SEC(".struct_ops.link")
    struct test_ops___v1 map_v1 = {
        /* Program 'foo' shared by maps with
         * different local BTF type
         */
        .foo = (void *)foo
    };

    SEC(".struct_ops.link")
    struct test_ops___v2 map_v2 = {
        .foo = (void *)foo,
        .bar = (void *)bar
    };

Assuming the following tweaks are done before loading:

    /* to load v1 */
    bpf_map__set_autocreate(skel->maps.map_v1, true);
    bpf_map__set_autocreate(skel->maps.map_v2, false);

    /* to load v2 */
    bpf_map__set_autocreate(skel->maps.map_v1, false);
    bpf_map__set_autocreate(skel->maps.map_v2, true);

Patch #8 ties autocreate and autoload flags for struct_ops maps and
programs.

Changelog:
- v3 [3] -> v4:
  - changes for multiple styling suggestions from Andrii;
  - patch #5: libbpf log capture now happens for LIBBPF_INFO and
    LIBBPF_WARN messages and does not depend on verbosity flags
    (Andrii);
  - patch #6: fixed runtime crash caused by conflict with newly added
    test case struct_ops_multi_pages;
  - patch #7: fixed free of possibly uninitialized pointer (Daniel)
  - patch #8: simpler algorithm to detect which programs to autoload
    (Andrii);
  - patch #9: added assertions for autoload flag after object load
    (Andrii);
  - patch #12: DATASEC name rewrite in libbpf is now done inplace, no
    new strings added to BTF (Andrii);
  - patch #14: allow any printable characters in DATASEC names when
    kernel validates BTF (Andrii)
- v2 [2] -> v3:
  - moved patch #8 logic to be fully done on load
    (requested by Andrii in offlist discussion);
  - in patch #9 added test case for shadow vars and
    autocreate/autoload interaction.
- v1 [1] -> v2:
  - fixed memory leak in patch #1 (Kui-Feng);
  - improved error messages in patch #2 (Martin, Andrii);
  - in bad_struct_ops selftest from patch #6 added .test_2
    map member setup (David);
  - added utility functions to capture libbpf log from selftests (David)
  - in selftests replaced usage of ...__open_and_load by separate
    calls to ..._open() and ..._load() (Andrii);
  - removed serial_... in selftest definitions (Andrii);
  - improved comments in selftest struct_ops_autocreate
    from patch #7 (David);
  - removed autoload toggling logic incompatible with shadow variables
    from bpf_map__set_autocreate(), instead struct_ops programs
    autoload property is computed at struct_ops maps load phase,
    see patch #8 (Kui-Feng, Martin, Andrii);
  - added support for SEC("?.struct_ops") and SEC("?.struct_ops.link")
    (Andrii).
