aya-bpf/helpers: add documentation and implement all bpf_probe_read_* wrappers

This patch adds some documentation to aya-bpf/helpers and adds documentation
for the module itself and for all of the wrappers currently defined in the module.

It also implements the rest of the bpf_probe_read_* wrappers that were missing from this
file. In the future, it probably also makes sense to add some bpf_probe_read_* wrappers
that can read directly into a map pointer, avoiding the BPF stack altogether. I'm going to
call this out of scope for this PR, but plan to submit a subsequent one that addresses
this use case.

//! This module contains kernel helper functions that may be exposed to specific BPF
//! program types. These helpers can be used to perform common tasks, query and operate on
//! data exposed by the kernel, and perform some operations that would normally be denied
//! by the BPF verifier.
//!
//! Here, we provide some higher-level wrappers around the underlying kernel helpers, but
//! also expose bindings to the underlying helpers as a fall-back in case of a missing
//! implementation.
