Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v3 0/3] selftests/bpf: migrate a few bpftool
 testing scripts

Hello,
this is the v3 for some bpftool tests conversion. The new tests are
being integrated in test_progs so that they can be executed on each CI
run.

- First commit introduces a few dedicated helpers to execute bpftool
  commands, with or without retrieving the generated stdout output
- Second commit integrates test_bpftool_metadata.sh into test_progs
- Third commit integrates test_bpftool_map.sh into test_progs

Signed-off-by: Alexis Lothoré (eBPF Foundation) <alexis.lothore@...tlin.com>
---
Changes in v3:
- Drop commit reordering objects in Makefile
- Rebased series on ci/bpf-next_base to fix conflict
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260121-bpftool-tests-v2-0-64edb47e91ae@bootlin.com

Changes in v2:
- drop standalone runner in favor of test_progs
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260114-bpftool-tests-v1-0-cfab1cc9beaf@bootlin.com
