Names used to pin eBPF programs and maps under the eBPF virtual file
system cannot contain a dot character, which is reserved for future
extensions of this file system.
Document this in bpftool man pages to avoid users getting confused if
pinning fails because of a dot.

Add a way of creating maps from user space. The command takes
as parameters most of the attributes of the map creation system
call command. After map is created its pinned to bpffs. This makes
it possible to easily and dynamically (without rebuilding programs)
test various corner cases related to map creation.
Map type names are taken from bpftool's array used for printing.
In general these days we try to make use of libbpf type names, but
there are no map type names in libbpf as of today.
As with most features I add the motivation is testing (offloads) :)

Users of BPF sooner or later discover perf_event_output() helpers
and BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY. Dumping this array type is
not possible, however, we can add simple reading of perf events.
Create a new event_pipe subcommand for maps, this sub command
will only work with BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY maps.
Parts of the code from samples/bpf/trace_output_user.c.

Instead of spelling [hex] BYTES everywhere use DATA as keyword
for generalized value. This will help us keep the messages
concise when longer command are added in the future. It will
also be useful once BTF support comes. We will only have to
change the definition of DATA.

bpftool uses hexadecimal values when it dumps map contents:
# bpftool map dump id 1337
key: ff 13 37 ff value: a1 b2 c3 d4 ff ff ff ff
Found 1 element
In order to lookup or update values with bpftool, the natural reflex is
then to copy and paste the values to the command line, and to try to run
something like:
# bpftool map update id 1337 key ff 13 37 ff \
value 00 00 00 00 00 00 1a 2b
Error: error parsing byte: ff
bpftool complains, because it uses strtoul() with a 0 base to parse the
bytes, and that without a "0x" prefix, the bytes are considered as
decimal values (or even octal if they start with "0").
To feed hexadecimal values instead, one needs to add "0x" prefixes
everywhere necessary:
# bpftool map update id 1337 key 0xff 0x13 0x37 0xff \
value 0 0 0 0 0 0 0x1a 0x2b
To make it easier to use hexadecimal values, add an optional "hex"
keyword to put after "key" or "value" to tell bpftool to consider the
digits as hexadecimal. We can now do:
# bpftool map update id 1337 key hex ff 13 37 ff \
value hex 0 0 0 0 0 0 1a 2b
Without the "hex" keyword, the bytes are still parsed according to
normal integer notation (decimal if no prefix, or hexadecimal or octal
if "0x" or "0" prefix is used, respectively).
The patch also add related documentation and bash completion for the
"hex" keyword.

Specify in the documentation that when using bpftool to update a map of
type BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY, the syntax for the program used as a value
should use the "id|tag|pinned" keywords convention, as used with
"bpftool prog" commands.
