libbpf: add bpf_core_cast() macro
Add bpf_core_cast() macro that wraps bpf_rdonly_cast() kfunc. It's more ergonomic than kfunc, as it automatically extracts btf_id with bpf_core_type_id_kernel(), and works with type names. It also casts result to (T *) pointer. See the definition of the macro, it's self-explanatory. libbpf declares bpf_rdonly_cast() extern as __weak __ksym and should be safe to not conflict with other possible declarations in user code. But we do have a conflict with current BPF selftests that declare their externs with first argument as `void *obj`, while libbpf opts into more permissive `const void *obj`. This causes conflict, so we fix up BPF selftests uses in the same patch.
