bpf, libbpf: Add bpf_tail_call_static helper for bpf programs

Browse Source 
Port of tail_call_static() helper function from Cilium's BPF code base [0]
to libbpf, so others can easily consume it as well. We've been using this
in production code for some time now. The main idea is that we guarantee
that the kernel's BPF infrastructure and JIT (here: x86_64) can patch the
JITed BPF insns with direct jumps instead of having to fall back to using
expensive retpolines. By using inline asm, we guarantee that the compiler
won't merge the call from different paths with potentially different
content of r2/r3.

We're also using Cilium's __throw_build_bug() macro (here as: __bpf_unreachable())
in different places as a neat trick to trigger compilation errors when
compiler does not remove code at compilation time. This works for the BPF
back end as it does not implement the __builtin_trap().

/*
* Helper macro to throw a compilation error if __bpf_unreachable() gets
* built into the resulting code. This works given BPF back end does not
* implement __builtin_trap(). This is useful to assert that certain paths
* of the program code are never used and hence eliminated by the compiler.
*
* For example, consider a switch statement that covers known cases used by
* the program. __bpf_unreachable() can then reside in the default case. If
* the program gets extended such that a case is not covered in the switch
* statement, then it will throw a build error due to the default case not
* being compiled out.
