libbpf: Support pre-initializing .bss global variables
Remove invalid assumption in libbpf that .bss map doesn't have to be updated in kernel. With addition of skeleton and memory-mapped initialization image, .bss doesn't have to be all zeroes when BPF map is created, because user-code might have initialized those variables from user-space.
