Add a set of APIs to perf_buffer manage to allow applications to integrate
perf buffer polling into existing epoll-based infrastructure. One example is
applications using libevent already and wanting to plug perf_buffer polling,
instead of relying on perf_buffer__poll() and waste an extra thread to do it.
But perf_buffer is still extremely useful to set up and consume perf buffer
rings even for such use cases.
So to accomodate such new use cases, add three new APIs:
- perf_buffer__buffer_cnt() returns number of per-CPU buffers maintained by
given instance of perf_buffer manager;
- perf_buffer__buffer_fd() returns FD of perf_event corresponding to
a specified per-CPU buffer; this FD is then polled independently;
- perf_buffer__consume_buffer() consumes data from single per-CPU buffer,
identified by its slot index.
To support a simpler, but less efficient, way to integrate perf_buffer into
external polling logic, also expose underlying epoll FD through
perf_buffer__epoll_fd() API. It will need to be followed by
perf_buffer__poll(), wasting extra syscall, or perf_buffer__consume(), wasting
CPU to iterate buffers with no data. But could be simpler and more convenient
for some cases.
These APIs allow for great flexiblity, but do not sacrifice general usability
of perf_buffer.
Also exercise and check new APIs in perf_buffer selftest.

Switch perf_buffer test to use skeleton to avoid use of bpf_prog_load() and
make test a bit more succinct. Also switch BPF program to use tracepoint
instead of kprobe, as that allows to support older kernels, which had
tracepoint support before kprobe support in the form that libbpf expects
(i.e., libbpf expects /sys/bus/event_source/devices/kprobe/type, which doesn't
always exist on old kernels).

AddressSanitizer assumes that all memory dereferences are done against memory
allocated by sanitizer's malloc()/free() code and not touched by anyone else.
Seems like this doesn't hold for perf buffer memory. Disable instrumentation
on perf buffer callback function.

Fix all selftests to include libbpf header files with the bpf/ prefix, to
be consistent with external users of the library. Also ensure that all
includes of exported libbpf header files (those that are exported on 'make
install' of the library) use bracketed includes instead of quoted.
To not break the build, keep the old include path until everything has been
changed to the new one; a subsequent patch will remove that.

perf_buffer test fails for exactly the same reason test_attach_probe
used to fail: different nanosleep syscall kprobe name.
Reuse the test_attach_probe fix.
