Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] tools/bpf: make libbpf _GNU_SOURCE friendly

During porting libbpf to bcc, I got some warnings like below:
  ...
  [  2%] Building C object src/cc/CMakeFiles/bpf-shared.dir/libbpf/src/libbpf.c.o
  /home/yhs/work/bcc2/src/cc/libbpf/src/libbpf.c:12:0:
  warning: "_GNU_SOURCE" redefined [enabled by default]
   #define _GNU_SOURCE
  ...
  [  3%] Building C object src/cc/CMakeFiles/bpf-shared.dir/libbpf/src/libbpf_errno.c.o
  /home/yhs/work/bcc2/src/cc/libbpf/src/libbpf_errno.c: In function ‘libbpf_strerror’:
  /home/yhs/work/bcc2/src/cc/libbpf/src/libbpf_errno.c:45:7:
  warning: assignment makes integer from pointer without a cast [enabled by default]
     ret = strerror_r(err, buf, size);
  ...

bcc is built with _GNU_SOURCE defined and this caused the above warning.
This patch intends to make libpf _GNU_SOURCE friendly by
  . define _GNU_SOURCE unless it is not defined
  . gnu version strerror_r has different return value than non-gnu version,
    so strerror_r return value is handled differently if _GNU_SOURCE is defined.
