Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v3 5/8] libbpf: Add helper macro to clear opts structs

Add a small and generic LIBBPF_OPTS_CLEAR() helper macros which clears
an opts structure and reinitializes its .sz member to place the structure
size. I found this very useful when developing selftests, but it is also
generic enough as a macro next to the existing LIBBPF_OPTS() which hides
the .sz initialization, too.
