Andrii Nakryiko 76ec90a996 libbpf: warn on unexpected __arg_ctx type when rewriting BTF
On kernel that don't support arg:ctx tag, before adjusting global
subprog BTF information to match kernel's expected canonical type names,
make sure that types used by user are meaningful, and if not, warn and
don't do BTF adjustments.

This is similar to checks that kernel performs, but narrower in scope,
as only a small subset of BPF program types can be accommodated by
libbpf using canonical type names.

Libbpf unconditionally allows `struct pt_regs *` for perf_event program
types, unlike kernel, which supports that conditionally on architecture.
This is done to keep things simple and not cause unnecessary false
positives. This seems like a minor and harmless deviation, which in
real-world programs will be caught by kernels with arg:ctx tag support
anyways. So KISS principle.

This logic is hard to test (especially on latest kernels), so manual
testing was performed instead. Libbpf emitted the following warning for
perf_event program with wrong context argument type:

  libbpf: prog 'arg_tag_ctx_perf': subprog 'subprog_ctx_tag' arg#0 is expected to be of `struct bpf_perf_event_data *` type
