mainlining shenanigans

Extend urandom_read helper binary to include USDTs of 4 combinations: semaphore/semaphoreless (refcounted and non-refcounted) and based in executable or shared library. We also extend urandom_read with ability to report it's own PID to parent process and wait for parent process to ready itself up for tracing urandom_read. We utilize popen() and underlying pipe properties for proper signaling. Once urandom_read is ready, we add few tests to validate that libbpf's USDT attachment handles all the above combinations of semaphore (or lack of it) and static or shared library USDTs. Also, we validate that libbpf handles shared libraries both with PID filter and without one (i.e., -1 for PID argument). Having the shared library case tested with and without PID is important because internal logic differs on kernels that don't support BPF cookies. On such older kernels, attaching to USDTs in shared libraries without specifying concrete PID doesn't work in principle, because it's impossible to determine shared library's load address to derive absolute IPs for uprobe attachments. Without absolute IPs, it's impossible to perform correct look up of USDT spec based on uprobe's absolute IP (the only kind available from BPF at runtime). This is not the problem on newer kernels with BPF cookie as we don't need IP-to-ID lookup because BPF cookie value *is* spec ID. So having those two situations as separate subtests is good because libbpf CI is able to test latest selftests against old kernels (e.g., 4.9 and 5.5), so we'll be able to disable PID-less shared lib attachment for old kernels, but will still leave PID-specific one enabled to validate this legacy logic is working correctly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
