bpf: add BPF_PROG_ATTACH and BPF_PROG_DETACH commands
Extend the bpf(2) syscall by two new commands, BPF_PROG_ATTACH and BPF_PROG_DETACH which allow attaching and detaching eBPF programs to a target. On the API level, the target could be anything that has an fd in userspace, hence the name of the field in union bpf_attr is called 'target_fd'. When called with BPF_ATTACH_TYPE_CGROUP_INET_{E,IN}GRESS, the target is expected to be a valid file descriptor of a cgroup v2 directory which has the bpf controller enabled. These are the only use-cases implemented by this patch at this point, but more can be added. If a program of the given type already exists in the given cgroup, the program is swapped automically, so userspace does not have to drop an existing program first before installing a new one, which would otherwise leave a gap in which no program is attached. For more information on the propagation logic to subcgroups, please refer to the bpf cgroup controller implementation. The API is guarded by CAP_NET_ADMIN.
