Andrii Nakryiko 668ace0ea5 libbpf: Use BPF perf link when supported by kernel
Detect kernel support for BPF perf link and prefer it when attaching to
perf_event, tracepoint, kprobe/uprobe. Underlying perf_event FD will be kept
open until BPF link is destroyed, at which point both perf_event FD and BPF
link FD will be closed.

This preserves current behavior in which perf_event FD is open for the
duration of bpf_link's lifetime and user is able to "disconnect" bpf_link from
underlying FD (with bpf_link__disconnect()), so that bpf_link__destroy()
doesn't close underlying perf_event FD.When BPF perf link is used, disconnect
will keep both perf_event and bpf_link FDs open, so it will be up to
(advanced) user to close them. This approach is demonstrated in bpf_cookie.c
selftests, added in this patch set.
