[RFC PATCH v5 10/30] bpf tools: Collect map definitions from 'maps' section

[Wang Nan]

If maps are used by eBPF programs, corresponding object file(s) should
contain a section named 'map'. Which contains map definitions. This
patch copies the data of the whole section. Map data parsing should be
acted just before map loading.
