libbpf: Add legacy uprobe attaching support
Similarly to recently added legacy kprobe attach interface support through tracefs, support attaching uprobes using the legacy interface if host kernel doesn't support newer FD-based interface. For uprobes event name consists of "libbpf_" prefix, PID, sanitized binary path and offset within that binary. Structuraly the code is aligned with kprobe logic refactoring in previous patch. struct bpf_link_perf is re-used and all the same legacy_probe_name and legacy_is_retprobe fields are used to ensure proper cleanup on bpf_link__destroy(). Users should be aware, though, that on old kernels which don't support FD-based interface for kprobe/uprobe attachment, if the application crashes before bpf_link__destroy() is called, uprobe legacy events will be left in tracefs. This is the same limitation as with legacy kprobe interfaces.
