libbpf: fix libbpf_strerror_r() handling unknown errors

strerror_r(), used from libbpf-specific libbpf_strerror_r() wrapper is
documented to return error in two different ways, depending on glibc
version. Take that into account when handling strerror_r()'s own errors,
which happens when we pass some non-standard (internal) kernel error to
it. Before this patch we'd have "ERROR: strerror_r(524)=22", which is
quite confusing. Now for the same situation we'll see a bit less
visually scary "unknown error (-524)".

At least we won't confuse user with irrelevant EINVAL (22).
