This patch adds various verifier test cases:

1) A test case for the pruning issue when tracking alignment
   is used.
2) Various PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL tests to make sure pointer
   arithmetic turns such register into UNKNOWN_VALUE type.
3) Test cases for the special treatment of LD_ABS/LD_IND to
   make sure verifier doesn't break calling convention here.
   Latter is needed, since f.e. arm64 JIT uses r1 - r5 for
   storing temporary data, so they really must be marked as
   NOT_INIT.

Add a couple of test cases, for example, probing for xadd on a spilled
pointer to packet and map_value_adj register, various other map_value_adj
tests including the unaligned load/store, and trying out pointer arithmetic
on map_value_adj register itself. For the unaligned load/store, we need
to figure out whether the architecture has efficient unaligned access and
need to mark affected tests accordingly.

<title>bpf: add initial suite for selftests</title>

Add a start of a test suite for kernel selftests. This moves test_verifier
and test_maps over to tools/testing/selftests/bpf/ along with various
code improvements and also adds a script for invoking test_bpf module.
The test suite can simply be run via selftest framework, f.e.:

  # cd tools/testing/selftests/bpf/
  # make
  # make run_tests

Both test_verifier and test_maps were kind of misplaced in samples/bpf/
directory and we were looking into adding them to selftests for a while
now, so it can be picked up by kbuild bot et al and hopefully also get
more exposure and thus new test case additions.

<title>perf tools: Copy linux/filter.h to tools/include</title>

This patch copies filter.h from include/linux/kernel.h to
tools/include/linux/filter.h to enable other libraries to use macros in it,
like libbpf which will be introduced by further patches.

Currently, the filter.h copy only contains the useful macros needed by
libbpf for not introducing too much dependence.

tools/perf/MANIFEST is also updated for 'make perf-*-src-pkg'.

One change:
  The 'imm' field of BPF_EMIT_CALL becomes ((FUNC) - BPF_FUNC_unspec) to
  suit user space code generator.
