Andrii reported memory leak detected by Coverity on error path
in bpf_program__attach_uprobe_multi. Fixing that by moving
the check earlier before the offsets allocations.

Also adding new program loader section that allows:
  SEC("uprobe.session/bpf_fentry_test*")

Adding support to attach BPF program for entry and return probe
of the same function. This is common use case which at the moment
requires to create two uprobe multi links.

Adding new BPF_TRACE_UPROBE_SESSION attach type that instructs
kernel to attach single link program to both entry and exit probe.

It's possible to control execution of the BPF program on return
probe simply by returning zero or non zero from the entry BPF
program execution to execute or not the BPF program on return
probe respectively.

<title>libbpf: move global data mmap()'ing into bpf_object__load()</title>

<id>137978f422516a128326df55c0ba23605f925e21</id>
<content type='text'>
Since BPF skeleton inception libbpf has been doing mmap()'ing of global
data ARRAY maps in bpf_object__load_skeleton() API, which is used by
code generated .skel.h files (i.e., by BPF skeletons only).

This is wrong because if BPF object is loaded through generic
bpf_object__load() API, global data maps won't be re-mmap()'ed after
load step, and memory pointers returned from bpf_map__initial_value()
would be wrong and won't reflect the actual memory shared between BPF
program and user space.

bpf_map__initial_value() return result is rarely used after load, so
this went unnoticed for a really long time, until bpftrace project
attempted to load BPF object through generic bpf_object__load() API and
then used BPF subskeleton instantiated from such bpf_object. It turned
out that .data/.rodata/.bss data updates through such subskeleton was
"blackholed", all because libbpf wouldn't re-mmap() those maps during
bpf_object__load() phase.

Long story short, this step should be done by libbpf regardless of BPF
skeleton usage, right after BPF map is created in the kernel. This patch
moves this functionality into bpf_object__populate_internal_map() to
achieve this. And bpf_object__load_skeleton() is now simple and almost
trivial, only propagating these mmap()'ed pointers into user-supplied
skeleton structs.

We also do trivial adjustments to error reporting inside
bpf_object__populate_internal_map() for consistency with the rest of
libbpf's map-handling code.

Libbpf pre-1.0 had a legacy logic of allowing singular non-annotated
(i.e., not having explicit SEC() annotation) function to be treated as
sole entry BPF program (unless there were other explicit entry
programs).

This behavior was dropped during libbpf 1.0 transition period (unless
LIBBPF_STRICT_SEC_NAME flag was unset in libbpf_mode). When 1.0 was
released and all the legacy behavior was removed, the bug slipped
through leaving this legacy behavior around.

Fix this for good, as it actually causes very confusing behavior if BPF
object file only has subprograms, but no entry programs.

<title>libbpf: fix sym_is_subprog() logic for weak global subprogs</title>

sym_is_subprog() is incorrectly rejecting relocations against *weak*
global subprogs. Fix that by realizing that STB_WEAK is also a global
function.

While it seems like verifier doesn't support taking an address of
non-static subprog right now, it's still best to fix support for it on
libbpf side, otherwise users will get a very confusing error during BPF
skeleton generation or static linking due to misinterpreted relocation:

  libbpf: prog 'handle_tp': bad map relo against 'foo' in section '.text'
  Error: failed to open BPF object file: Relocation failed

It's clearly not a map relocation, but is treated and reported as such
without this fix.

Track target endianness in 'struct bpf_gen' and process in-memory data in
native byte-order, but on finalization convert the embedded loader BPF
insns to target endianness.

The light skeleton also includes a target-accessed data blob which is
heterogeneous and thus difficult to convert to target byte-order on
finalization. Add support functions to convert data to target endianness
as it is added to the blob.

Also add additional debug logging for data blob structure details and
skeleton loading.
