Subject: [PATCH v3 bpf-next 2/3] libbpf: make global data internal arrays mmap()-able, if possible

Add detection of BPF_F_MMAPABLE flag support for arrays and add it as an extra
flag to internal global data maps, if supported by kernel. This allows users
to memory-map global data and use it without BPF map operations, greatly
simplifying user experience.
