samples/bpf: xdp_monitor also record xdp_exception tracepoint
Also monitor the tracepoint xdp_exception. This tracepoint is usually invoked by the drivers. Programs themselves can activate this by returning XDP_ABORTED, which will drop the packet but also trigger the tracepoint. This is useful for distinguishing intentional (XDP_DROP) vs. ebpf-program error cases that cased a drop (XDP_ABORTED). Drivers also use this tracepoint for reporting on XDP actions that are unknown to the specific driver. This can help the user to detect if a driver e.g. doesn't implement XDP_REDIRECT yet.
