Wang Nan cc4228d57c bpf tools: Check endianness and make libbpf fail early
Check endianness according to EHDR. Code is taken from
tools/perf/util/symbol-elf.c.

Libbpf doesn't magically convert missmatched endianness. Even if we swap
eBPF instructions to correct byte order, we are unable to deal with
endianness in code logical generated by LLVM.

Therefore, libbpf should simply reject missmatched ELF object, and let
LLVM to create good code.
