libbpf: Use Elf64-specific types explicitly for dealing with ELF

Minimize the usage of class-agnostic gelf_xxx() APIs from libelf. These
APIs require copying ELF data structures into local GElf_xxx structs and
have a more cumbersome API. BPF ELF file is defined to be always 64-bit
ELF object, even when intended to be run on 32-bit host architectures,
so there is no need to do class-agnostic conversions everywhere. BPF
static linker implementation within libbpf has been using Elf64-specific
types since initial implementation.

Add two simple helpers, elf_sym_by_idx() and elf_rel_by_idx(), for more
succinct direct access to ELF symbol and relocation records within ELF
data itself and switch all the GElf_xxx usage into Elf64_xxx
equivalents. The only remaining place within libbpf.c that's still using
gelf API is gelf_getclass(), as there doesn't seem to be a direct way to
get underlying ELF bitness.

No functional changes intended.
