<title>tools/bpftool: Support passing BPFTOOL_VERSION to make</title>

This change facilitates out-of-tree builds, packaging, and versioning for
test and debug purposes. Defining BPFTOOL_VERSION allows self-contained
builds within the tools tree, since it avoids use of the 'kernelversion'
target in the top-level makefile, which would otherwise pull in several
other includes from outside the tools tree.

Strip away DWARF info from .bpf.o files, before generating BPF skeletons.
This reduces bpftool binary size from 3.43MB to 2.58MB.

<title>tools/bpftool: Allow substituting custom vmlinux.h for the build</title>

In some build contexts (e.g., Travis CI build for outdated kernel), vmlinux.h,
generated from available kernel, doesn't contain all the types necessary for
BPF program compilation. For such set up, the most maintainable way to deal
with this problem is to keep pre-generated (almost up-to-date) vmlinux.h
checked in and use it for compilation purposes. bpftool after that can deal
with kernel missing some of the features in runtime with no problems.

To that effect, allow to specify path to custom vmlinux.h to bpftool's
Makefile with VMLINUX_H variable.

<title>tools, bpftool: Correctly evaluate $(BUILD_BPF_SKELS) in Makefile</title>

Currently, if the clang-bpf-co-re feature is not available, the build
fails with e.g.

  CC       prog.o
prog.c:1462:10: fatal error: profiler.skel.h: No such file or directory
 1462 | #include "profiler.skel.h"
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is due to the fact that the BPFTOOL_WITHOUT_SKELETONS macro is not
defined, despite BUILD_BPF_SKELS not being set. Fix this by correctly
evaluating $(BUILD_BPF_SKELS) when deciding on whether to add
-DBPFTOOL_WITHOUT_SKELETONS to CFLAGS.

Add bpf_iter-based way to find all the processes that hold open FDs against
BPF object (map, prog, link, btf). bpftool always attempts to discover this,
but will silently give up if kernel doesn't yet support bpf_iter BPF programs.
Process name and PID are emitted for each process (task group).

Sample output for each of 4 BPF objects:

Adapt Makefile to support BPF skeleton generation beyond single profiler.bpf.c
case. Also add vmlinux.h generation and switch profiler.bpf.c to use it.

clang-bpf-global-var feature is extended and renamed to clang-bpf-co-re to
check for support of preserve_access_index attribute, which, together with BTF
for global variables, is the minimum requirement for modern BPF programs.

<pre>
Adapt Makefile to support BPF skeleton generation beyond single profiler.bpf.c
case. Also add vmlinux.h generation and switch profiler.bpf.c to use it.

clang-bpf-global-var feature is extended and renamed to clang-bpf-co-re to
check for support of preserve_access_index attribute, which, together with BTF
for global variables, is the minimum requirement for modern BPF programs.

<title>tools/bpftool: Minimize bootstrap bpftool</title>

Build minimal "bootstrap mode" bpftool to enable skeleton (and, later,
vmlinux.h generation), instead of building almost complete, but slightly
different (w/o skeletons, etc) bpftool to bootstrap complete bpftool build.

Current approach doesn't scale well (engineering-wise) when adding more BPF
programs to bpftool and other complicated functionality, as it requires
constant adjusting of the code to work in both bootstrapped mode and normal
mode.

So it's better to build only minimal bpftool version that supports only BPF
skeleton code generation and BTF-to-C conversion. Thankfully, this is quite
easy to accomplish due to internal modularity of bpftool commands. This will
also allow to keep adding new functionality to bpftool in general, without the
need to care about bootstrap mode for those new parts of bpftool.

<title>tools/bpf: Don't use $(COMPILE.c)</title>

When using make kselftest TARGETS=bpf, tools/bpf is built with
MAKEFLAGS=rR, which causes $(COMPILE.c) to be undefined, which in turn
causes the build to fail with

  CC       kselftest/bpf/tools/build/bpftool/map_perf_ring.o
/bin/sh: 1: -MMD: not found

Fix by using $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c instead of $(COMPILE.c).

<title>tools: bpftool: Make libcap dependency optional</title>

The new libcap dependency is not used for an essential feature of
bpftool, and we could imagine building the tool without checks on
CAP_SYS_ADMIN by disabling probing features as an unprivileged users.

Make it so, in order to avoid a hard dependency on libcap, and to ease
packaging/embedding of bpftool.
