Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 2/2] bpftool: output message if no helpers found in feature probing

Currently in libbpf, we have hardcoded program types that are not
supported for helper function probing (e.g. tracing, ext, lsm).
Due to this (and other legitimate failures), bpftool feature probe returns
empty for those program type helper functions.

Instead of implying to the user that there are no helper functions
available for a program type, we output a message to the user explaining
that helper function probing failed for that program type.
