On program/map show we may get an ID of an object from GETNEXT,
but the object may disappear before we call GET_FD_BY_ID.  If
that happens, ignore the object and continue.

We can't return from the middle of do_show(), because
json_array will not be closed.  Break out of the loop.
Note that the error handling after the loop depends on
errno, so no need to set err.

<title>tools: bpftool: unify installation directories</title>

Programs and documentation not managed by package manager are generally
installed under /usr/local/, instead of the user's home directory. In
particular, `man` is generally able to find manual pages under
`/usr/local/share/man`.

bpftool generally follows perf's example, and perf installs to home
directory. However bpftool requires root credentials, so it seems
sensible to follow the more common convention of installing files under
/usr/local instead. So, make /usr/local the default prefix for
installing the binary with `make install`, and the documentation with
`make doc-install`. Also, create /usr/local/sbin if it does not exist.

Note that the bash-completion file, however, is still installed under
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions, as the default setup for bash
does not attempt to load completion files under /usr/local/.

The end-of-line character inside the string would break JSON compliance.
Remove it, `p_err()` already adds a '\n' character for plain output

<title>tools: bpftool: make error message from getopt_long() JSON-friendly</title>

If `getopt_long()` meets an unknown option, it prints its own error
message to standard error output. While this does not strictly break
JSON output, it is the only case bpftool prints something to standard
error output if JSON output is required. All other errors are printed on
standard output as JSON objects, so that an external program does not
have to parse stderr.

This is changed by setting the global variable `opterr` to 0.
Furthermore, p_err() is used to reproduce the error message in a more
JSON-friendly way, so that users still get to know what the erroneous
option is.

<title>tools: bpftool: clean up the JSON writer before exiting in usage()</title>

The writer is cleaned at the end of the main function, but not if the
program exits sooner in usage(). Let's keep it clean and destroy the
writer before exiting.

Destruction and actual call to exit() are moved to another function so
that clean exit can also be performed without printing usage() hints.

If bad or unrecognised parameters are specified after JSON output is
requested, `usage()` will try to output null JSON object before the
writer is created.

To prevent this, create the writer as soon as the `--json` option is
parsed.
