Song Liu 413703c8cb tools lib bpf: Introduce bpf_program__get_prog_info_linear()
Currently, bpf_prog_info includes 9 arrays. The user has the option to
fetch any combination of these arrays. However, this requires a lot of
handling.

This work becomes more tricky when we need to store bpf_prog_info to a
file, because these arrays are allocated independently.

This patch introduces 'struct bpf_prog_info_linear', which stores arrays
of bpf_prog_info in continuous memory.

Helper functions are introduced to unify the work to get different sets
of bpf_prog_info.  Specifically, bpf_program__get_prog_info_linear()
allows the user to select which arrays to fetch, and handles details for
the user.

Please see the comments right before 'enum bpf_prog_info_array' for more
details and examples.

This is a mirror of bpf-next linux tree
(https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next)
bpf-next/tools/lib/bpf directory plus its supporting header files.

The following files will by sync'ed with bpf-next repo:
  src/ <-> bpf-next/tools/lib/bpf/
  include/uapi/linux/bpf_common.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf_common.h
  include/uapi/linux/bpf.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h

  include/uapi/linux/netlink.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/netlink.h
  include/tools/libc_compat.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/tools/libc_compat.h

Other header files at this repo (include/linux/*.h) are reduced versions of
their counterpart files at bpf-next/tools/include/linux/*.h to make compilation
successful.
