This patch updates bpf_map__set_value_size() so that if the given map is
memory mapped, it will attempt to resize the mapped region. Initial
contents of the mapped region are preserved. BTF is not required, but
after the mapping is resized an attempt is made to adjust the associated
BTF information if the following criteria is met:
 - BTF info is present
 - the map is a datasec
 - the final variable in the datasec is an array

... the resulting BTF info will be updated so that the final array
variable is associated with a new BTF array type sized to cover the
requested size.

Note that the initial resizing of the memory mapped region can succeed
while the subsequent BTF adjustment can fail. In this case, BTF info is
dropped from the map by clearing the key and value type.

Introduce bpf_link__update_map(), which allows to atomically update
underlying struct_ops implementation for given struct_ops BPF link.

Also add old_map_fd to struct bpf_link_update_opts to handle
BPF_F_REPLACE feature.

By default, libbpf will attach the kprobe/uprobe BPF program in the
latest mode that supported by kernel. In this patch, we add the support
to let users manually attach kprobe/uprobe in legacy or perf mode.

There are 3 mode that supported by the kernel to attach kprobe/uprobe:

  LEGACY: create perf event in legacy way and don't use bpf_link
  PERF: create perf event with perf_event_open() and don't use bpf_link

Add option to set when the perf buffer should wake up, by default the
perf buffer becomes signaled for every event that is being pushed to it.

In case of a high throughput of events it will be more efficient to wake
up only once you have X events ready to be read.

So your application can wakeup once and drain the entire perf buffer.

When attach_prog_fd field was removed in libbpf 1.0 and replaced with
`long: 0` placeholder, it actually shifted all the subsequent fields by
8 byte. This is due to `long: 0` promising to adjust next field's offset
to long-aligned offset. But in this case we were already long-aligned
as pin_root_path is a pointer. So `long: 0` had no effect, and thus
didn't feel the gap created by removed attach_prog_fd.

Non-zero bitfield should have been used instead. I validated using
pahole. Originally kconfig field was at offset 40. With `long: 0` it's
at offset 32, which is wrong. With this change it's back at offset 40.

While technically libbpf 1.0 is allowed to break backwards
compatibility and applications should have been recompiled against
libbpf 1.0 headers, but given how trivial it is to preserve memory
layout, let's fix this.
