libbpf: auto-set PERF_EVENT_ARRAY size to number of CPUs
For BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY typically correct size is number of possible CPUs. This is impossible to specify at compilation time. This change adds automatic setting of PERF_EVENT_ARRAY size to number of system CPUs, unless non-zero size is specified explicitly. This allows to adjust size for advanced specific cases, while providing convenient and logical defaults.
