libbpf: Streamline bpf_attr and perf_event_attr initialization
Make sure that entire libbpf code base is initializing bpf_attr and perf_event_attr with memset(0). Also for bpf_attr make sure we clear and pass to kernel only relevant parts of bpf_attr. bpf_attr is a huge union of independent sub-command attributes, so there is no need to clear and pass entire union bpf_attr, which over time grows quite a lot and for most commands this growth is completely irrelevant. Few cases where we were relying on compiler initialization of BPF UAPI structs (like bpf_prog_info, bpf_map_info, etc) with `= {};` were switched to memset(0) pattern for future-proofing.
