Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 05/17] libbpf: allow gaps in BPF program sections to support overriden weak functions

Currently libbpf is very strict about parsing BPF program isnstruction
sections. No gaps are allowed between sequential BPF programs within a given
ELF section. Libbpf enforced that by keeping track of the next section offset
that should start a new BPF (sub)program and cross-checks that by searching for
a corresponding STT_FUNC ELF symbol.

But this is too restrictive once we allow to have weak BPF programs and link
together two or more BPF object files. In such case, some weak BPF programs
might be "overriden" by either non-weak BPF program with the same name and
signature, or even by another weak BPF program that just happened to be linked
first. That, in turn, leaves BPF instructions of the "lost" BPF (sub)program
intact, but there is no corresponding ELF symbol, because no one is going to
be referencing it.

Libbpf already correctly handles such cases in the sense that it won't append
such dead code to actual BPF programs loaded into kernel. So the only change
that needs to be done is to relax the logic of parsing BPF instruction
sections. Instead of assuming next BPF (sub)program section offset, iterate
available STT_FUNC ELF symbols to discover all available BPF subprograms and
programs.
