There is demand for a way to identify what BPF helper functions are available to unprivileged users. To do so, allow unprivileged users to run "bpftool feature probe" to list BPF-related features. This will only show features accessible to those users, and may not reflect the full list of features available (to administrators) on the system. To avoid the case where bpftool is inadvertently run as non-root and would list only a subset of the features supported by the system when it would be expected to list all of them, running as unprivileged is gated behind the "unprivileged" keyword passed to the command line. When used by a privileged user, this keyword allows to drop the CAP_SYS_ADMIN and to list the features available to unprivileged users. Note that this addsd a dependency on libpcap for compiling bpftool. Note that there is no particular reason why the probes were restricted to root, other than the fact I did not need them for unprivileged and did not bother with the additional checks at the time probes were added.
