tools: bpftool: add C-style "#define" output for probes

Make bpftool able to dump a subset of the parameters collected by
probing the system as a listing of C-style #define macros, so that
external projects can reuse the result of this probing and build
BPF-based project in accordance with the features available on the
system.

The new "macros" keyword is used to select this output. An additional
"prefix" keyword is added so that users can select a custom prefix for
macro names, in order to avoid any namespace conflict.

Sample output:

    # bpftool feature probe kernel macros prefix FOO_
    /*** System call availability ***/
    #define FOO_HAVE_BPF_SYSCALL

    /*** eBPF program types ***/
    #define FOO_HAVE_SOCKET_FILTER_PROG_TYPE
    #define FOO_HAVE_KPROBE_PROG_TYPE
    #define FOO_HAVE_SCHED_CLS_PROG_TYPE
    ...

    /*** eBPF map types ***/
    #define FOO_HAVE_HASH_MAP_TYPE
    #define FOO_HAVE_ARRAY_MAP_TYPE
    #define FOO_HAVE_PROG_ARRAY_MAP_TYPE
    ...

    /*** eBPF helper functions ***/
    /*
     * Use FOO_HAVE_PROG_TYPE_HELPER(prog_type_name, helper_name)
     * to determine if <helper_name> is available for <prog_type_name>,
     * e.g.
     *      #if FOO_HAVE_PROG_TYPE_HELPER(xdp, bpf_redirect)
     *              // do stuff with this helper
     *      #elif
     *              // use a workaround
     *      #endif
     */
    #define FOO_HAVE_PROG_TYPE_HELPER(prog_type, helper)        \
            FOO_BPF__PROG_TYPE_ ## prog_type ## __HELPER_ ## helper
    ...
    #define FOO_BPF__PROG_TYPE_socket_filter__HELPER_bpf_probe_read 0
    #define FOO_BPF__PROG_TYPE_socket_filter__HELPER_bpf_ktime_get_ns 1
    #define FOO_BPF__PROG_TYPE_socket_filter__HELPER_bpf_trace_printk 1
    ...

v3:
- Change output for helpers again: add a
  HAVE_PROG_TYPE_HELPER(type, helper) macro that can be used to tell
  if <helper> is available for program <type>.

v2:
- #define-based output added as a distinct patch.
- "HAVE_" prefix appended to macro names.
- Output limited to bpf() syscall availability, BPF prog and map types,
  helper functions. In this version kernel config options, procfs
  parameter or kernel version are intentionally left aside.
- Following the change on helper probes, format for helper probes in
  this output style has changed (now a list of compatible program
  types).

 DESCRIPTION
 ===========
-	**bpftool feature probe** [**kernel**]
+	**bpftool feature probe** [**kernel**] [**macros** [**prefix** *PREFIX*]]
 		  Probe the running kernel and dump a number of eBPF-related
 		  parameters, such as availability of the **bpf()** system call.
 
+		  If the **macros** keyword (but not the **-j** option) is
+		  passed, a subset of the output is dumped as a list of
+		  **#define** macros that are ready to be included in a C
+		  header file, for example. If, additionally, **prefix** is
+		  used to define a *PREFIX*, the provided string will be used
+		  as a prefix to the names of the macros: this can be used to
+		  avoid conflicts on macro names when including the output of
+		  this command as a header file.
+
 		  Keyword **kernel** can be omitted.
 
 		  Note that when probed, some eBPF helpers (e.g.
