Most tools which use bpf_get_stack or bpf_get_stackid symbolicate the
stack - meaning the stack of addresses in the target process' address
space is transformed into meaningful symbol names. The
BPF_F_USER_BUILD_ID flag eases this process by finding the build_id of
the file-backed vma which the address falls in and translating the
address to an offset within the backing file.
To be more specific, the offset is a "file offset" from the beginning of
the backing file. The symbols in ET_DYN ELF objects have a st_value
which is also described as an "offset" - but an offset in the process
address space, relative to the base address of the object.
It's necessary to translate between the "file offset" and "virtual
address offset" during symbolication before they can be directly
compared. Failure to do so can lead to confusing bugs, so this patch
clarifies language in the documentation in an attempt to keep this from
happening.

btf_ext__{func,line}_info_rec_size functions are used in conjunction
with already-deprecated btf_ext__reloc_{func,line}_info functions. Since
struct btf_ext is opaque to the user it was necessary to expose rec_size
getters in the past.
btf_ext__reloc_{func,line}_info were deprecated in commit 8505e8709b5ee
("libbpf: Implement generalized .BTF.ext func/line info adjustment")
as they're not compatible with support for multiple programs per
section. It was decided[0] that users of these APIs should implement their
own .btf.ext parsing to access this data, in which case the rec_size
getters are unnecessary. So deprecate them from libbpf 0.7.0 onwards.

The __bpf_printk convenience macro was using a 'char' fmt string holder
as it predates support for globals in libbpf. Move to more efficient
'static const char', but provide a fallback to the old way via
BPF_NO_GLOBAL_DATA so users on old kernels can still use the macro.

Instead of being a thin wrapper which calls into bpf_trace_printk,
libbpf's bpf_printk convenience macro now chooses between
bpf_trace_printk and bpf_trace_vprintk. If the arg count (excluding
format string) is >3, use bpf_trace_vprintk, otherwise use the older
helper.
The motivation behind this added complexity - instead of migrating
entirely to bpf_trace_vprintk - is to maintain good developer experience
for users compiling against new libbpf but running on older kernels.
Users who are passing <=3 args to bpf_printk will see no change in their
bytecode.
__bpf_vprintk functions similarly to BPF_SEQ_PRINTF and BPF_SNPRINTF
macros elsewhere in the file - it allows use of bpf_trace_vprintk
without manual conversion of varargs to u64 array. Previous
implementation of bpf_printk macro is moved to __bpf_printk for use by
the new implementation.
This does change behavior of bpf_printk calls with >3 args in the "new
libbpf, old kernels" scenario. Before this patch, attempting to use 4
args to bpf_printk results in a compile-time error. After this patch,
using bpf_printk with 4 args results in a trace_vprintk helper call
being emitted and a load-time failure on older kernels.

Add an enum (cgroup_bpf_attach_type) containing only valid cgroup_bpf
attach types and a function to map bpf_attach_type values to the new
enum. Inspired by netns_bpf_attach_type.
Then, migrate cgroup_bpf to use cgroup_bpf_attach_type wherever
possible. Functionality is unchanged as attach_type_to_prog_type
switches in bpf/syscall.c were preventing non-cgroup programs from
making use of the invalid cgroup_bpf array slots.
As a result struct cgroup_bpf uses 504 fewer bytes relative to when its
arrays were sized using MAX_BPF_ATTACH_TYPE.
bpf_cgroup_storage is notably not migrated as struct
bpf_cgroup_storage_key is part of uapi and contains a bpf_attach_type
member which is not meant to be opaque. Similarly, bpf_cgroup_link
continues to report its bpf_attach_type member to userspace via fdinfo
and bpf_link_info.
To ease disambiguation, bpf_attach_type variables are renamed from
'type' to 'atype' when changed to cgroup_bpf_attach_type.
