[PATCHv2 perf/core 0/7] Libbpf improvements

[Joe Stringer]

Patch 1 fixes an issue when using drastically different BPF map definitions
inside ELFs from a client using libbpf, vs the map definition libbpf uses.

Patches 2-4 add some simple, useful helper functions for setting prog type
and retrieving libbpf errors without depending on kernel headers from
userspace programs.

Patches 5-7 add a new pinning functionality for maps, programs, and objects.
Library users may call bpf_map__pin(map, path) or bpf_program__pin(prog, path)
to pin maps and programs separately, or use bpf_object__pin(obj, path) to
pin all maps and programs from the BPF object to the path. The map and program
variations require a full path where it will be pinned in the filesystem,
and the object variation will create directories "maps/" and "progs/" under
the specified path, then mount each map and program under those subdirectories.

v1: Initial post.
v2: Wang Nan provided improvements to patch 1.
    Dropped patch 2 from v1.
    Added acks for acked patches.
    Split the bpf_obj__pin() to also provide map / program pinning APIs.
    Allow users to provide full filesystem path (don't autodetect/mount BPFFS).
