Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 1/2] bpftool: adjust for error codes from libbpf probes

Originally [1], libbpf's (now deprecated) probe functions returned a bool
to acknowledge support but the new APIs return an int with a possible
negative error code to reflect probe failure. This change decides for
bpftool to declare maps and helpers are not available on probe failures.
