Add support for shared umems between hardware queues and devices to the AF_XDP part of libbpf. This so that zero-copy can be achieved in applications that want to send and receive packets between HW queues on one device or between different devices/netdevs. In order to create sockets that share a umem between hardware queues and devices, a new function has been added called xsk_socket__create_shared(). It takes the same arguments as xsk_socket_create() plus references to a fill ring and a completion ring. So for every socket that share a umem, you need to have one more set of fill and completion rings. This in order to maintain the single-producer single-consumer semantics of the rings. You can create all the sockets via the new xsk_socket__create_shared() call, or create the first one with xsk_socket__create() and the rest with xsk_socket__create_shared(). Both methods work.
