Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v5 8/9] libbpf: Add common attr support for map_create

With the previous commit adding common attribute support for
BPF_MAP_CREATE, users can now retrieve detailed error messages when map
creation fails via the log_buf field.

Introduce struct bpf_syscall_common_attr_opts with the following fields:
log_buf, log_size, log_level, and log_true_size.

Extend bpf_map_create_opts with a new field common_attr_opts, allowing
users to capture and inspect log messages on map creation failures.
