Add two new helper functions to trace_helpers that supports polling
multiple perf file descriptors for events. These are used to the XDP
perf_event_output example, which needs to work with one perf fd per CPU.

Given a kernel function name, ksym_get_addr() will return the kernel
address for this function, or 0 if it cannot find this function name
in /proc/kallsyms. This function will be used later when a kernel
address is used to initiate a kprobe perf event.

There are two copies of event reading loop - in bpftool and
trace_helpers "library". Consolidate them and move the code
to libbpf. Return codes from trace_helpers are kept, but
renamed to include LIBBPF prefix.

There is no functionality change in this patch. The common-purpose
trace functions, including perf_event polling and ksym lookup,
are moved from trace_output_user.c and bpf_load.c to
selftests/bpf/trace_helpers.c so that these function can
be reused later in selftests.
