Currently, bpf_prog_info includes 9 arrays. The user has the option to
fetch any combination of these arrays. However, this requires a lot of
handling of these arrays. This work becomes more tricky when we need to
store bpf_prog_info to a file, because these arrays are allocated
independently.

This patch introduces struct bpf_prog_info_linear, which stores arrays
of bpf_prog_info in continues memory. Helper functions are introduced
to unify the work to get different information of bpf_prog_info.
Specifically, bpf_program__get_prog_info_linear() allows the user to
select which arrays to fetch, and handles details for the user.

Plesae see the comments before enum bpf_prog_info_array for more details
and examples.

Can be done on top, but this is too much boilerplate, later we can use
something like:

@define BPF_PROG_INFO_ENTRY(idx, array, count, offset) \
	[BPF_PROG_INFO ## index_name] = { \
		offsetof(struct bpf_prog_info, array), \ 
		offsetof(struct bpf_prog_info, count), \ 
		(int)offset \
	}

And then have a more compact

	static struct bpf_prog_info_array_desc bpf_prog_info_array_desc[] = {
		BPF_PROG_INFO_ENTRY(JITED_INSNS, jited_prog_insns, jided_prog_len, -1 );
		BPF_PROG_INFO_ENTRY(MAP_IDS, map_ids, nr_map_ids, -sizeof(__u32));

	etc.

Anyway, processing it as-is for now.

+ * Get bpf_prog_info in continuous memory
+ *
+ * struct bpf_prog_info has multiple arrays. The user has option to choose
+ * arrays to fetch from kernel. The following APIs provide uniform way to
+ * fetch these data. All arrays in bpf_prog_info are stored in singile
+ * continuous memory region. This makes it easy to store the info in a
+ * file.
+ *
+ * Before writing bpf_prog_info_linear to files, it is necessary to
+ * translate pointers bpf_prog_info to offsets. Helper functions
+ * bpf_program__bpil_addr_to_offs() and bpf_program__bpil_offs_to_addr()
+ * are introduced to switch between pointers and offsets.
+ *
+ * Examples:
+ *   # To fetch map_ids and prog_tags:
+ *   __u64 arrays = (1UL << BPF_PROG_INFO_MAP_IDS) |
+ *           (1UL << BPF_PROG_INFO_PROG_TAGS);
+ *   struct bpf_prog_info_linear *info_linear =
+ *           bpf_program__get_prog_info_linear(fd, arrays);
+ *
+ *   # To save data in file
+ *   bpf_program__bpil_addr_to_offs(info_linear);
+ *   write(f, info_linear, sizeof(*info_linear) + info_linear->data_len);
+ *
+ *   # To read data from file
+ *   read(f, info_linear, <proper_size>);
+ *   bpf_program__bpil_offs_to_addr(info_linear);
