libbpf: Add bpf_program__set_insns function

Adding bpf_program__set_insns that allows to set new instructions
for a BPF program.

This is a very advanced libbpf API and users need to know what
they are doing. This should be used from prog_prepare_load_fn
callback only.

We can have changed instructions after calling prog_prepare_load_fn
callback, reloading them.

One of the users of this new API will be perf's internal BPF prologue
generation.
