libbpf: Move section-defined program flags to prog_flags

Browse Source 
The libbpf section definition modifiers for XDP frags support and
sleepable programs stores the flags bits only in the private section
definition cookie from object open to load time. This has the
unfortunate consequence that API consumers cannot see (or manipulate)
the flag between object open and program load.

In particular, libxdp has special handling of frags-enabled programs to
make them compatible with the dispatcher. This doesn't work on XDP
programs that enable frags through the 'xdp.frags' section definition
because the flag is not visible through bpf_program__flags()[0].

Fix this by changing how libbpf loads the program flags from section
definitions: instead of using the private section definition cookie, add
a setup function to the default section definitions that stores the
flags for sleepable and XDP frags programs in the prog_flags field of
struct bpf_program.

Exposing the flags this way means that any use of
bpf_program__set_flags() will override the flags unless the caller takes
care of updating flags in a non-destructive way. This is unavoidable
with the set-only API, and any user setting flags unconditionally is
already broken in the sense that they will also override any other
current and future flags.

In addition, prog_flags survives program type changes through
bpf_program__set_type(). It is the responsibility of the caller to
ensure the flags are cleared if they are incompatible with the new
program type.
