selftests/bpf: Stop using static variables for passing data to/from user-space
In preparation of skipping emitting static variables in BPF skeletons, switch all current selftests uses of static variables to pass data between BPF and user-space to use global variables. All non-read-only `static volatile` variables become just plain global variables by dropping `static volatile` part. Read-only `static volatile const` variables, though, still require `volatile` modifier, otherwise compiler will ignore whatever values are set from user-space. Few static linker tests are using name-conflicting static variables to validate that static linker still properly handles static variables and doesn't trip up on name conflicts.
