tools: bpftool: Document and add bash completion for -L, -B options

The -L|--use-loader option for using loader programs when loading, or
when generating a skeleton, did not have any documentation or bash
completion. Same thing goes for -B|--base-btf, used to pass a path to a
base BTF object for split BTF such as BTF for kernel modules.

This patch documents and adds bash completion for those options.

Fixes: 75fa1777 ("tools/bpftool: Add bpftool support for split BTF")
Fixes: d510296d ("bpftool: Use syscall/loader program in "prog load" and "gen skeleton" command.")

-B, --base-btf *FILE*
Pass a base BTF object. Base BTF objects are typically used
with BTF objects for kernel modules. To avoid duplicating
all kernel symbols required by modules, BTF objects for
modules are "split", they are built incrementally on top of
the kernel (vmlinux) BTF object. So the base BTF reference
should usually point to the kernel BTF.
When the main BTF object to process (for example, the
module BTF to dump) is passed as a *FILE*, bpftool attempts
to autodetect the path for the base object, and passing
this option is optional. When the main BTF object is passed
through other handles, this option becomes necessary.

For skeletons, generate a "light" skeleton (also known as "loader"
skeleton). A light skeleton contains a loader eBPF program. It does
not use the majority of the libbpf infrastructure, and does not need

-L, --use-loader
Load program as a "loader" program. This is useful to debug
the generation of such programs. When this option is in
use, bpftool attempts to load the programs from the object
file into the kernel, but does not pin them (therefore, the
*PATH* must not be provided).
When combined with the **-d**\ \|\ **--debug** option,
additional debug messages are generated, and the execution
of the loader program will use the **bpf_trace_printk**\ ()
helper to log each step of loading BTF, creating the maps,
and loading the programs (see **bpftool prog tracelog** as
a way to dump those messages).
