libbpf: Make perf_buffer__new() use OPTS-based interface



Add new variants of perf_buffer__new() and perf_buffer__new_raw() that
use OPTS-based options for future extensibility ([0]). Given all the
currently used API names are best fits, re-use them and use
___libbpf_override() approach and symbol versioning to preserve ABI and
source code compatibility. struct perf_buffer_opts and struct
perf_buffer_raw_opts are kept as well, but they are restructured such
that they are OPTS-based when used with new APIs. For struct
perf_buffer_raw_opts we keep few fields intact, so we have to also
preserve the memory location of them both when used as OPTS and for
legacy API variants. This is achieved with anonymous padding for OPTS
"incarnation" of the struct.  These pads can be eventually used for new
options.
