Andrii Nakryiko dd94d45cf0 libbpf: Add opt-in strict BPF program section name handling logic
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]).
