libbpf: feature-detect arg:ctx tag support in kernel

Add feature detector of kernel-side arg:ctx (__arg_ctx) tag support. If
this is detected, libbpf will avoid doing any __arg_ctx-related BTF
rewriting and checks in favor of letting kernel handle this completely.

test_global_funcs/ctx_arg_rewrite subtest is adjusted to do the same
feature detection (albeit in much simpler, though round-about and
inefficient, way), and skip the tests. This is done to still be able to
execute this test on older kernels (like in libbpf CI).

Note, BPF token series ([0]) does a major refactor and code moving of
libbpf-internal feature detection "framework", so to avoid unnecessary
conflicts we keep newly added feature detection stand-alone with ad-hoc
result caching. Once things settle, there will be a small follow up to
re-integrate everything back and move code into its final place in
newly-added (by BPF token series) features.c file.
