This requires loading the BTF to kernel when loading all programs as
well as implementing Extension program type

This allows for parsed BTF to be re-encoded such that it could be loaded
in to the kernel. It moves bytes_of to the utils package. We could use
Object::bytes_of, but this requires the impl of the Pod trait on
generated code.

This commit marks .rodata maps as BPF_F_RDONLY_PROG when loaded to
prevent a BPF program mutating them.
Initial map data is populated by the loader using the new
`BpfLoader::set_global()` API. The loader will mark
is marked as frozen using bpf_map_freeze to prevent map data
being changed from userspace.

fentry and fexit programs are similar to kprobe and kretprobe, but they
are newer and they have practically zero overhead to call before or
after kernel function. Also, fexit programs are focused on access to
arguments rather than the return value.
Those kind of programs were introduced in the following patchset:

Map iteration can yield stale keys and values by virtue of sharing a
data structure with BPF programs which can modify it. However, all
accesses remain perfectly safe and will not cause memory corruption or
data races.
Map and ProgramData objects had unnecessarily cloned strings for their
names, despite them being just as easily available to external users via
bpf.maps() and bpf.programs().
This commit improves section detection.
Previously, a section named "xdp_metadata" would be interpretted as a
program section, which is incorrect. This commit first attempts to
identify a BPF section by name, then by section.kind() ==
SectionKind::Text (executable code). The computed section kind is
stored in the Section so variants can be easily matched on later.

When a BPF program doesn't specify the target kernel version, the
most compatible option is to set the program kernel version to match
the currently running kernel.
In kernel 4.15 and additional parameter was added to allow maps to have
names but using this breaks on older kernels.
This change makes it so the name is only added on kernels 4.15 and
newer.
This commit fixes name parsing of sk_skb sections such that both named
and unnamed variants will work correctly.
