integration-ebpf: artifact dependency bpf-linker

- integration-ebpf: add artifact dependency on bpf-linker.
- integration-ebpf: remove manual rerun-if-changed=bpf-linker.
- integration-ebpf: make bpf-linker availble to rustc in build.rs.
- xtask: filter for test binaries now that the build also produces the
  bpf-linker binary.
- github: remove `cargo install bpf-linker`.
- integration-test: remove bpf-linker installation instructions.

Blockers:
- https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/12385 (artifact = "bin"
  makes entire workspace nightly-only).
