Disable eBPF compilation in different platforms

[thiagoftsm]

Summary

This PR is bringing the same fix added by @Ferroin here for Netdata source-code.

We have plans to bring eBPF plugin for different platforms, but while it is not merged and considering the reported problems per Slack when we use the latest libbpf, the safest is to disable.

Component Name

netdata-installer

Test Plan

1 - Compile this PR on X86_64, and verify that eBPF.plugin is compiled and it runs normally
2 - Compile this PR on different platform, and verify that eBPF.plugin is not compiled.

Additional Information

This ideally should not have been merged without a review from a code owner. The general premise is correct, but we most certainly do not want to hard fail on non-x86 platforms when users haven’t explicitly disabled eBPF.

I’ll have a follow up PR later today to fix this, but in the short term expect some users to report updater issues.

👍

@thiagoftsm just updated should_install_ebpf function, so we just don't install the ebpf.plugin plugin and log "Currently eBPF is only supported on Linux on X86_64.". What do you mean by hard fail? 🤔

Ah, no, you’re correct. I mistook run_failed for fatal. This should be fine as is.

Actually did the same and had to look for run_failed function before approving the PR 😄

The hard fail was not written by me, this is ancient text.
