Currently, libbpf considers a single routine in .text to be a program. This
is particularly confusing when it comes to library objects - a single routine
meant to be used as an extern will instead be considered a bpf_program.
This patch hides this compatibility behavior behind the pre-existing
SEC_NAME strict mode flag.

Move a bunch of "getters" into libbpf_legacy.h to keep them there in
libbpf 1.0. See [0] for discussion of "Discouraged APIs". These getters
don't add any maintenance burden and are simple alias, but they are
inconsistent in naming. So keep them in libbpf_legacy.h instead of
libbpf.h to "hide" them in favor of preferred getters ([1]). Also add two
missing getters: bpf_program__type() and bpf_program__expected_attach_type().

Enact deprecation of legacy BPF map definition in SEC("maps") ([0]). For
the definitions themselves introduce LIBBPF_STRICT_MAP_DEFINITIONS flag
for libbpf strict mode. If it is set, error out on any struct
bpf_map_def-based map definition. If not set, libbpf will print out
a warning for each legacy BPF map to raise awareness that it goes away.
For any use of BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR() macro providing a legacy way to
associate BTF key/value type information with legacy BPF map definition,
warn through libbpf's pr_warn() error message (but don't fail BPF object
open).
BPF-side struct bpf_map_def is marked as deprecated. User-space struct
bpf_map_def has to be used internally in libbpf, so it is left
untouched. It should be enough for bpf_map__def() to be marked
deprecated to raise awareness that it goes away.
bpftool is an interesting case that utilizes libbpf to open BPF ELF
object to generate skeleton. As such, even though bpftool itself uses
full on strict libbpf mode (LIBBPF_STRICT_ALL), it has to relax it a bit
for BPF map definition handling to minimize unnecessary disruptions. So
opt-out of LIBBPF_STRICT_MAP_DEFINITIONS for bpftool. User's code that
will later use generated skeleton will make its own decision whether to
enforce LIBBPF_STRICT_MAP_DEFINITIONS or not.
There are few tests in selftests/bpf that are consciously using legacy
BPF map definitions to test libbpf functionality. For those, temporary
opt out of LIBBPF_STRICT_MAP_DEFINITIONS mode for the duration of those
tests.

The need to increase RLIMIT_MEMLOCK to do anything useful with BPF is
one of the first extremely frustrating gotchas that all new BPF users go
through and in some cases have to learn it a very hard way.
Luckily, starting with upstream Linux kernel version 5.11, BPF subsystem
dropped the dependency on memlock and uses memcg-based memory accounting
instead. Unfortunately, detecting memcg-based BPF memory accounting is
far from trivial (as can be evidenced by this patch), so in practice
most BPF applications still do unconditional RLIMIT_MEMLOCK increase.
As we move towards libbpf 1.0, it would be good to allow users to forget
about RLIMIT_MEMLOCK vs memcg and let libbpf do the sensible adjustment
automatically. This patch paves the way forward in this matter. Libbpf
will do feature detection of memcg-based accounting, and if detected,
will do nothing. But if the kernel is too old, just like BCC, libbpf
will automatically increase RLIMIT_MEMLOCK on behalf of user
application ([0]).
As this is technically a breaking change, during the transition period
applications have to opt into libbpf 1.0 mode by setting
LIBBPF_STRICT_AUTO_RLIMIT_MEMLOCK bit when calling
libbpf_set_strict_mode().
Libbpf allows to control the exact amount of set RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limit
with libbpf_set_memlock_rlim_max() API. Passing 0 will make libbpf do
nothing with RLIMIT_MEMLOCK. libbpf_set_memlock_rlim_max() has to be
called before the first bpf_prog_load(), bpf_btf_load(), or
bpf_object__load() call, otherwise it has no effect and will return
-EBUSY.

It's confusing that libbpf-provided helper macro doesn't start with
LIBBPF. Also "declare" vs "define" is confusing terminology, I can never
remember and always have to look up previous examples.
Bypass both issues by renaming DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS into a short and
clean LIBBPF_OPTS. To avoid breaking existing code, provide:
#define DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS LIBBPF_OPTS
in libbpf_legacy.h. We can decide later if we ever want to remove it or
we'll keep it forever because it doesn't add any maintainability burden.

Add a flag to `enum libbpf_strict_mode' to disable the global
`bpf_objects_list', preventing race conditions when concurrent threads
call bpf_object__open() or bpf_object__close().
bpf_object__next() will return NULL if this option is set.
Callers may achieve the same workflow by tracking bpf_objects in
application code.

We can't use section name anymore because they are not unique
and pinning objects with multiple programs with the same
progtype/secname will fail.

Implement strict ELF section name handling for BPF programs. It utilizes
`libbpf_set_strict_mode()` framework and adds new flag: LIBBPF_STRICT_SEC_NAME.
If this flag is set, libbpf will enforce exact section name matching for
a lot of program types that previously allowed just partial prefix
match. E.g., if previously SEC("xdp_whatever_i_want") was allowed, now
in strict mode only SEC("xdp") will be accepted, which makes SEC("")
definitions cleaner and more structured. SEC() now won't be used as yet
another way to uniquely encode BPF program identifier (for that
C function name is better and is guaranteed to be unique within
bpf_object). Now SEC() is strictly BPF program type and, depending on
program type, extra load/attach parameter specification.
Libbpf completely supports multiple BPF programs in the same ELF
section, so multiple BPF programs of the same type/specification easily
co-exist together within the same bpf_object scope.
Additionally, a new (for now internal) convention is introduced: section
name that can be a stand-alone exact BPF program type specificator, but
also could have extra parameters after '/' delimiter. An example of such
section is "struct_ops", which can be specified by itself, but also
allows to specify the intended operation to be attached to, e.g.,
"struct_ops/dctcp_init". Note, that "struct_ops_some_op" is not allowed.
Such section definition is specified as "struct_ops+".
This change is part of libbpf 1.0 effort ([0], [1]).

Ensure that low-level APIs behave uniformly across the libbpf as follows:
- in case of an error, errno is always set to the correct error code;
- when libbpf 1.0 mode is enabled with LIBBPF_STRICT_DIRECT_ERRS option to
libbpf_set_strict_mode(), return -Exxx error value directly, instead of -1;
- by default, until libbpf 1.0 is released, keep returning -1 directly.
More context, justification, and discussion can be found in "Libbpf: the road
to v1.0" document ([0]).

Add libbpf_set_strict_mode() API that allows application to simulate libbpf
1.0 breaking changes before libbpf 1.0 is released. This will help users
migrate gradually and with confidence.
For now only ALL or NONE options are available, subsequent patches will add
more flags. This patch is preliminary for selftests/bpf changes.
