ce015f0184 libbpf: remove unused libbpf_strerror_r and STRERR_BUFSIZE
libbpf_strerror_r() is not exposed as public API and neither is it used
inside libbpf itself. Remove it altogether.

Same for STRERR_BUFSIZE, it's just an orphaned leftover constant which
we missed to clean up some time earlier.

2a228c7885 libbpf: Add namespace for errstr making it libbpf_errstr
When statically linking symbols can be replaced with those from other
statically linked libraries depending on the link order and the hoped
for "multiple definition" error may not appear. To avoid conflicts it
is good practice to namespace symbols, this change renames errstr to
libbpf_errstr. To avoid churn a #define is used to turn use of
errstr(err) to libbpf_errstr(err).

Add function errstr(int err) that allows converting numeric error codes
into string representations.

ed54f30307 libbpf: fix libbpf_strerror_r() handling unknown errors
strerror_r(), used from libbpf-specific libbpf_strerror_r() wrapper is
documented to return error in two different ways, depending on glibc
version. Take that into account when handling strerror_r()'s own errors,
which happens when we pass some non-standard (internal) kernel error to
it. Before this patch we'd have "ERROR: strerror_r(524)=22", which is
quite confusing. Now for the same situation we'll see a bit less
visually scary "unknown error (-524)".

At least we won't confuse user with irrelevant EINVAL (22).

b50eb28758 libbpf: Poison kernel-only integer types
It's been a recurring issue with types like u32 slipping into libbpf source
code accidentally. This is not detected during builds inside kernel source
tree, but becomes a compilation error in libbpf's Github repo. Libbpf is
supposed to use only __{s,u}{8,16,32,64} typedefs, so poison {s,u}{8,16,32,64}
explicitly in every .c file. Doing that in a bit more centralized way, e.g.,
inside libbpf_internal.h breaks selftests, which are both using kernel u32 and
libbpf_internal.h.

This patch also fixes a new u32 occurence in libbpf.c, added recently.

3e8f8914cb libbpf: make libbpf_strerror_r agnostic to sign of error
It's often inconvenient to switch sign of error when passing it into
libbpf_strerror_r. It's better for it to handle that automatically.
