bpf: libbpf: Add STRUCT_OPS support

This patch adds BPF STRUCT_OPS support to libbpf.

The only sec_name convention is SEC(".struct_ops") to identify the
struct_ops implemented in BPF,
e.g. To implement a tcp_congestion_ops:

SEC(".struct_ops")
struct tcp_congestion_ops dctcp = {
	.init           = (void *)dctcp_init,  /* <-- a bpf_prog */
	/* ... some more func prts ... */
	.name           = "bpf_dctcp",
};

Each struct_ops is defined as a global variable under SEC(".struct_ops")
as above.  libbpf creates a map for each variable and the variable name
is the map's name.  Multiple struct_ops is supported under
SEC(".struct_ops").

In the bpf_object__open phase, libbpf will look for the SEC(".struct_ops")
section and find out what is the btf-type the struct_ops is
implementing.  Note that the btf-type here is referring to
a type in the bpf_prog.o's btf.  A "struct bpf_map" is added
by bpf_object__add_map() as other maps do.  It will then
collect (through SHT_REL) where are the bpf progs that the
func ptrs are referring to.  No btf_vmlinux is needed in
the open phase.

In the bpf_object__load phase, the map-fields, which depend
on the btf_vmlinux, are initialized (in bpf_map__init_kern_struct_ops()).
It will also set the prog->type, prog->attach_btf_id, and
prog->expected_attach_type.  Thus, the prog's properties do
not rely on its section name.
[ Currently, the bpf_prog's btf-type ==> btf_vmlinux's btf-type matching
  process is as simple as: member-name match + btf-kind match + size match.
  If these matching conditions fail, libbpf will reject.
  The current targeting support is "struct tcp_congestion_ops" which
  most of its members are function pointers.
  The member ordering of the bpf_prog's btf-type can be different from
  the btf_vmlinux's btf-type. ]

Then, all obj->maps are created as usual (in bpf_object__create_maps()).

Once the maps are created and prog's properties are all set,
the libbpf will proceed to load all the progs.

bpf_map__attach_struct_ops() is added to register a struct_ops
map to a kernel subsystem.
