Add -L flag to bpftool to use libbpf gen_trace facility and syscall/loader program
for skeleton generation and program loading.
"bpftool gen skeleton -L" command will generate a "light skeleton" or "loader skeleton"
that is similar to existing skeleton, but has one major difference:
$ bpftool gen skeleton lsm.o > lsm.skel.h
$ bpftool gen skeleton -L lsm.o > lsm.lskel.h
$ diff lsm.skel.h lsm.lskel.h

The light skeleton does not use majority of libbpf infrastructure.
It doesn't need libelf. It doesn't parse .o file.
It only needs few sys_bpf wrappers. All of them are in bpf/bpf.h file.
In future libbpf/bpf.c can be inlined into bpf.h, so not even libbpf.a would be
needed to work with light skeleton.
"bpftool prog load -L file.o" command is introduced for debugging of syscall/loader
program generation. Just like the same command without -L it will try to load
the programs from file.o into the kernel. It won't even try to pin them.
"bpftool prog load -L -d file.o" command will provide additional debug messages
on how syscall/loader program was generated.
Also the execution of syscall/loader program will use bpf_trace_printk() for
each step of loading BTF, creating maps, and loading programs.
The user can do "cat /.../trace_pipe" for further debug.
An example of fexit_sleep.lskel.h generated from progs/fexit_sleep.c:

struct bpf_loader_ctx ctx;

struct bpf_prog_desc nanosleep_fentry;
struct bpf_prog_desc nanosleep_fexit;

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.
