bpftool: Support printing opcodes and source file references in CFG

Add support for displaying opcodes or/and file references (filepath,
line and column numbers) when dumping the control flow graphs of loaded
BPF programs with bpftool.

The filepaths in the records are absolute. To avoid blocks on the graph
to get too wide, we truncate them when they get too long (but we always
keep the entire file name). In the unlikely case where the resulting
file name is ambiguous, it remains possible to get the full path with a
regular dump (no CFG).

bpftool: Support inline annotations when dumping the CFG of a program

We support dumping the control flow graph of loaded programs to the DOT
format with bpftool, but so far this feature wouldn't display the source
code lines available through BTF along with the eBPF bytecode. Let's add
support for these annotations, to make it easier to read the graph.

In prog.c, we move the call to dump_xlated_cfg() in order to pass and
use the full struct dump_data, instead of creating a minimal one in
draw_bb_node().

We pass the pointer to this struct down to dump_xlated_for_graph() in
xlated_dumper.c, where most of the logics is added. We deal with BTF
mostly like we do for plain or JSON output, except that we cannot use a
"nr_skip" value to skip a given number of linfo records (we don't
process the BPF instructions linearly, and apart from the root of the
graph we don't know how many records we should skip, so we just store
the last linfo and make sure the new one we find is different before
printing it).

When printing the source instructions to the label of a DOT graph node,
there are a few subtleties to address. We want some special newline
markers, and there are some characters that we must escape. To deal with
them, we introduce a new dedicated function btf_dump_linfo_dotlabel() in
btf_dumper.c. We'll reuse this function in a later commit to format the
filepath, line, and column references as well.

tools, bpftool: Poison and replace kernel integer typedefs

Replace the use of kernel-only integer typedefs (u8, u32, etc.) by their
user space counterpart (__u8, __u32, etc.).

Similarly to what libbpf does, poison the typedefs to avoid introducing
them again in the future.

tools: bpftool: teach cfg code about JMP32

The cfg code need to be aware of the new JMP32 instruction class so it
could partition functions correctly.

tools: bpftool: generate .dot graph from CFG information

This patch let bpftool print .dot graph file into stdout.

This graph is generated by the following steps:

- iterate through the function list.
- generate basic-block(BB) definition for each BB in the function.
- draw out edges to connect BBs.

This patch is the initial support, the layout and decoration of the .dot
graph could be improved.

Also, it will be useful if we could visualize some performance data from
static analysis.

tools: bpftool: partition basic-block for each function in the CFG

This patch partition basic-block for each function in the CFG. The
algorithm is simple, we identify basic-block head in a first traversal,
then second traversal to identify the tail.

We could build extended basic-block (EBB) in next steps. EBB could make the
graph more readable when the eBPF sequence is big.

tools: bpftool: detect sub-programs from the eBPF sequence

This patch detect all sub-programs from the eBPF sequence and keep the
information in the new CFG data structure.

The detection algorithm is basically the same as the one in verifier except
we need to use insn->off instead of insn->imm to get the pc-relative call
offset. Because verifier has modified insn->off/insn->imm during finishing
the verification.

Also, we don't need to do some sanity checks as verifier has done them.
