<title>bpf: add _impl suffix for bpf_stream_vprintk() kfunc</title>

<content type='text'>
Rename bpf_stream_vprintk() to bpf_stream_vprintk_impl().

This makes bpf_stream_vprintk() follow the already established "_impl"
suffix-based naming convention for kfuncs with the bpf_prog_aux
argument provided by the verifier implicitly. This convention will be
taken advantage of with the upcoming KF_IMPLICIT_ARGS feature to
preserve backwards compatibility to BPF programs.

retsnoop's build on powerpc (ppc64le) architecture ([0]) failed due to
wrong definition of PT_REGS_SP() macro. Looking at powerpc's
implementation of stack unwinding in perf_callchain_user_64() clearly
shows that stack pointer register is gpr[1].

Fix libbpf's definition of __PT_SP_REG for powerpc to fix all this.

<title>libbpf: Fix missing #pragma in libbpf_utils.c</title>

<content type='text'>
The recent sha256 patch uses a GCC pragma to suppress compile errors for
a packed struct, but omits a needed pragma (see related link) and thus
still raises errors: (e.g. on GCC 12.3 armhf)

libbpf_utils.c:153:29: error: packed attribute causes inefficient alignment for ‘__val’ [-Werror=attributes]
  153 | struct __packed_u32 { __u32 __val; } __attribute__((packed));
      |                             ^~~~~

Resolve by adding the GCC diagnostic pragma to ignore "-Wattributes".

linux/unaligned.h include dependency is causing issues for libbpf's
Github mirror due to {get,put}_unaligned_be32() usage.

So get rid of it by implementing custom variants of those macros that
will work both in kernel and Github mirror repos.

Also switch round_up() to roundup(), as the former is not available in
Github mirror (and is just a subtly more specific variant of roundup()
anyways).

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.

Reimplement libbpf_sha256() using some basic SHA-256 C code.  This
eliminates the newly-added dependency on AF_ALG, which is a problematic
UAPI that is not supported by all kernels.

Make libbpf_sha256() return void, since it can no longer fail.  This
simplifies some callers.  Also drop the unnecessary 'sha_out_sz'
parameter.  Finally, also fix the typo in "compute_sha_udpate_offsets".
