libbpf: Introduce bpf_map__resize

Add bpf_map__resize() to change max_entries for a map.

Quite often necessary map size is unknown at compile time and can be
calculated only at run time.

Currently the following approach is used to do so:
* bpf_object__open_buffer() to open Elf file from a buffer;
* bpf_object__find_map_by_name() to find relevant map;
* bpf_map__def() to get map attributes and create struct
  bpf_create_map_attr from them;
* update max_entries in bpf_create_map_attr;
* bpf_create_map_xattr() to create new map with updated max_entries;
* bpf_map__reuse_fd() to replace the map in bpf_object with newly
  created one.

And after all this bpf_object can finally be loaded. The map will have
new size.

It 1) is quite a lot of steps; 2) doesn't take BTF into account.

For "2)" even more steps should be made and some of them require changes
to libbpf (e.g. to get struct btf * from bpf_object).

Instead the whole problem can be solved by introducing simple
bpf_map__resize() API that checks the map and sets new max_entries if
the map is not loaded yet.

So the new steps are:
* bpf_object__open_buffer() to open Elf file from a buffer;
* bpf_object__find_map_by_name() to find relevant map;
* bpf_map__resize() to update max_entries.

That's much simpler and works with BTF.
