selftests/bpf: convert bpf_rdonly_cast() uses to bpf_core_cast() macro

Use more ergonomic bpf_core_cast() macro instead of bpf_rdonly_cast() in
selftests code.

libbpf: add bpf_core_cast() macro

Add bpf_core_cast() macro that wraps bpf_rdonly_cast() kfunc. It's more
ergonomic than kfunc, as it automatically extracts btf_id with
bpf_core_type_id_kernel(), and works with type names. It also casts result
to (T *) pointer. See the definition of the macro, it's self-explanatory.

libbpf declares bpf_rdonly_cast() extern as __weak __ksym and should be
safe to not conflict with other possible declarations in user code.

But we do have a conflict with current BPF selftests that declare their
externs with first argument as `void *obj`, while libbpf opts into more
permissive `const void *obj`. This causes conflict, so we fix up BPF
selftests uses in the same patch.

selftests/bpf: fix lots of silly mistakes pointed out by compiler

Once we enable -Wall for BPF sources, compiler will complain about lots
of unused variables, variables that are set but never read, etc.

Fix all these issues first before enabling -Wall in Makefile.

bpf: Add type cast unit tests

Three tests are added. One is from John Fastabend ({1]) which tests
tracing style access for xdp program from the kernel ctx.
Another is a tc test to test both kernel ctx tracing style access
and explicit non-ctx type cast. The third one is for negative tests
including two tests, a tp_bpf test where the bpf_rdonly_cast()
returns a untrusted ptr which cannot be used as helper argument,
and a tracepoint test where the kernel ctx is a u64.

Also added the test to DENYLIST.s390x since s390 does not currently
support calling kernel functions in JIT mode.
