More advanced applications may want to only replace programs without destroying associated maps. Allow libbpf users to achieve that. Instead of always creating all of the maps at load time, expose to users an API to reconstruct the map object from already existing map. The map parameters are read from the kernel and replace the parameters of the ELF map. libbpf does not restrict the map replacement, i.e. the reused map does not have to be compatible with the ELF map definition. We relay on the verifier for checking the compatibility between maps and programs. The ELF map definition is completely overwritten by the information read from the kernel, to make sure libbpf's view of map object corresponds to the actual map.
