<title>libbpf: auto-set PERF_EVENT_ARRAY size to number of CPUs</title>

For BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY typically correct size is number of
possible CPUs. This is impossible to specify at compilation time. This
change adds automatic setting of PERF_EVENT_ARRAY size to number of
system CPUs, unless non-zero size is specified explicitly. This allows
to adjust size for advanced specific cases, while providing convenient
and logical defaults.

<title>libbpf: add perf buffer API</title>

<content type='text'>
BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY map is often used to send data from BPF program
to user space for additional processing. libbpf already has very low-level API
to read single CPU perf buffer, bpf_perf_event_read_simple(), but it's hard to
use and requires a lot of code to set everything up. This patch adds
perf_buffer abstraction on top of it, abstracting setting up and polling
per-CPU logic into simple and convenient API, similar to what BCC provides.

perf_buffer__new() sets up per-CPU ring buffers and updates corresponding BPF
map entries. It accepts two user-provided callbacks: one for handling raw
samples and one for get notifications of lost samples due to buffer overflow.

perf_buffer__new_raw() is similar, but provides more control over how
perf events are set up (by accepting user-provided perf_event_attr), how
they are handled (perf_event_header pointer is passed directly to
user-provided callback), and on which CPUs ring buffers are created
(it's possible to provide a list of CPUs and corresponding map keys to
update). This API allows advanced users fuller control.

perf_buffer__poll() is used to fetch ring buffer data across all CPUs,
utilizing epoll instance.

perf_buffer__free() does corresponding clean up and unsets FDs from BPF map.

All APIs are not thread-safe. User should ensure proper locking/coordination if
used in multi-threaded set up.
