Merge branch 'libbpf-api'

Andrii Nakryiko says:

====================
Add bpf_object__open_file() and bpf_object__open_mem() APIs that use a new
approach to providing future-proof non-ABI-breaking API changes. It relies on
APIs accepting optional self-describing "opts" struct, containing its own
size, filled out and provided by potentially outdated (as well as
newer-than-libbpf) user application. A set of internal helper macros
(OPTS_VALID, OPTS_HAS, and OPTS_GET) streamline and simplify a graceful
handling forward and backward compatibility for user applications dynamically
linked against different versions of libbpf shared library.

Users of libbpf are provided with convenience macro LIBBPF_OPTS that takes
care of populating correct structure size and zero-initializes options struct,
which helps avoid obscure issues of unitialized padding. Uninitialized padding
in a struct might turn into garbage-populated new fields understood by future
versions of libbpf.

Patch #1 removes enforcement of kern_version in libbpf and always populates
correct one on behalf of users.
Patch #2 defines necessary infrastructure for options and two new open APIs
relying on it.
Patch #3 fixes bug in bpf_object__name().
Patch #4 switches two of test_progs' tests to use new APIs as a validation
that they work as expected.

v2->v3:
- fix LIBBPF_OPTS() to ensure zero-initialization of padded bytes;
- pass through name override and relaxed maps flag for open_file() (Toke);
- fix bpf_object__name() to actually return object name;
- don't bother parsing and verifying version section (John);

v1->v2:
- use better approach for tracking last field in opts struct;
- convert few tests to new APIs for validation;
- fix bug with using offsetof(last_field) instead of offsetofend(last_field).
