bpf, libbpf: support global data/bss/rodata sections

This work adds BPF loader support for global data sections
to libbpf. This allows to write BPF programs in more natural
C-like way by being able to define global variables and const
data.

Back at LPC 2018 [0] we presented a first prototype which
implemented support for global data sections by extending BPF
syscall where union bpf_attr would get additional memory/size
pair for each section passed during prog load in order to later
add this base address into the ldimm64 instruction along with
the user provided offset when accessing a variable. Consensus
from LPC was that for proper upstream support, it would be
more desirable to use maps instead of bpf_attr extension as
this would allow for introspection of these sections as well
as potential live updates of their content. This work follows
this path by taking the following steps from loader side:

 1) In bpf_object__elf_collect() step we pick up ".data",
    ".rodata", and ".bss" section information.

 2) If present, in bpf_object__init_internal_map() we add
    maps to the obj's map array that corresponds to each
    of the present sections. Given section size and access
    properties can differ, a single entry array map is
    created with value size that is corresponding to the
    ELF section size of .data, .bss or .rodata. These
    internal maps are integrated into the normal map
    handling of libbpf such that when user traverses all
    obj maps, they can be differentiated from user-created
    ones via bpf_map__is_internal(). In later steps when
    we actually create these maps in the kernel via
    bpf_object__create_maps(), then for .data and .rodata
    sections their content is copied into the map through
    bpf_map_update_elem(). For .bss this is not necessary
    since array map is already zero-initialized by default.
    Additionally, for .rodata the map is frozen as read-only
    after setup, such that neither from program nor syscall
    side writes would be possible.

 3) In bpf_program__collect_reloc() step, we record the
    corresponding map, insn index, and relocation type for
    the global data.

 4) And last but not least in the actual relocation step in
    bpf_program__relocate(), we mark the ldimm64 instruction
    with src_reg = BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_VALUE where in the first
    imm field the map's file descriptor is stored as similarly
    done as in BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD, and in the second imm field
    (as ldimm64 is 2-insn wide) we store the access offset
    into the section. Given these maps have only single element
    ldimm64's off remains zero in both parts.

 5) On kernel side, this special marked BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_VALUE
    load will then store the actual target address in order
    to have a 'map-lookup'-free access. That is, the actual
    map value base address + offset. The destination register
    in the verifier will then be marked as PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE,
    containing the fixed offset as reg->off and backing BPF
    map as reg->map_ptr. Meaning, it's treated as any other
    normal map value from verification side, only with
    efficient, direct value access instead of actual call to
    map lookup helper as in the typical case.

Currently, only support for static global variables has been
added, and libbpf rejects non-static global variables from
loading. This can be lifted until we have proper semantics
for how BPF will treat multi-object BPF loads. From BTF side,
libbpf will set the value type id of the types corresponding
to the ".bss", ".data" and ".rodata" names which LLVM will
emit without the object name prefix. The key type will be
left as zero, thus making use of the key-less BTF option in
array maps.

section:

For Cilium use-case in particular, this enables migrating configuration
constants from Cilium daemon's generated header defines into global
data sections such that expensive runtime recompilations with LLVM can
be avoided altogether. Instead, the ELF file becomes effectively a
"template", meaning, it is compiled only once (!) and the Cilium daemon
will then rewrite relevant configuration data from the ELF's .data or
.rodata sections directly instead of recompiling the program. The
updated ELF is then loaded into the kernel and atomically replaces
the existing program in the networking datapath. More info in [0].

Based upon recent fix in LLVM, commit c0db6b6bd444 ("[BPF] Don't fail
for static variables").
