mainlining shenanigans

Add new variants of perf_buffer__new() and perf_buffer__new_raw() that use OPTS-based options for future extensibility ([0]). Given all the currently used API names are best fits, re-use them and use ___libbpf_override() approach and symbol versioning to preserve ABI and source code compatibility. struct perf_buffer_opts and struct perf_buffer_raw_opts are kept as well, but they are restructured such that they are OPTS-based when used with new APIs. For struct perf_buffer_raw_opts we keep few fields intact, so we have to also preserve the memory location of them both when used as OPTS and for legacy API variants. This is achieved with anonymous padding for OPTS "incarnation" of the struct. These pads can be eventually used for new options.

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.
