libbpf: Add doc comments in libbpf.h



This adds comments above functions in libbpf.h which document
their uses. These comments are of a format that doxygen and sphinx
can pick up and render. These are rendered by libbpf.readthedocs.org

These doc comments are for:
- bpf_object__find_map_by_name()
- bpf_map__fd()
- bpf_map__is_internal()
- libbpf_get_error()
- libbpf_num_possible_cpus()

/**
 * @brief **libbpf_get_error()** extracts the error code from the passed
 * pointer
 * @param ptr pointer returned from libbpf API function
 * @return error code; or 0 if no error occured
 *
 * Many libbpf API functions which return pointers have logic to encode error
 * codes as pointers, and do not return NULL. Meaning **libbpf_get_error()**
 * should be used on the return value from these functions immediately after
 * calling the API function, with no intervening calls that could clobber the
 * `errno` variable. Consult the individual functions documentation to verify
 * if this logic applies should be used.
 *
 * For these API functions, if `libbpf_set_strict_mode(LIBBPF_STRICT_CLEAN_PTRS)`
 * is enabled, NULL is returned on error instead.
 *
 * If ptr is NULL, then errno should be already set by the failing
 * API, because libbpf never returns NULL on success and it now always
 * sets errno on error.
 *
 * Example usage:
 *
 *   struct perf_buffer *pb;
 *
 *   pb = perf_buffer__new(bpf_map__fd(obj->maps.events), PERF_BUFFER_PAGES, &opts);
 *   err = libbpf_get_error(pb);
 *   if (err) {
 *	  pb = NULL;
 *	  fprintf(stderr, "failed to open perf buffer: %d\n", err);
 *	  goto cleanup;
 *   }
