I'd rather keep it unchanged in this patch, as it is aligned with what 
other bpftool man pages do: bpftool, bpftool-cgroup, bpftool-map and 
bpftool-prog all have “eBPF” (bpftool-perf and bpftool-net have “bpf”, 
lower case) in their description. And all pages have longer dash rules, 
which rst2man does not seem to mind about.

I can fix all this for all bpftool pages in a follow-up patch, though, 
if it's alright for you?
