libbpf: provide more helpful message on uninitialized global var
When BPF program defines uninitialized global variable, it's put into a special COMMON section. Libbpf will reject such programs, but will provide very unhelpful message with garbage-looking section index. This patch detects special section cases and gives more explicit error message.
