bpf: remove unnecessary prune and jump points
Don't mark some instructions as jump points when there are actually no jumps and instructions are just processed sequentially. Such case is handled naturally by precision backtracking logic without the need to update jump history. See get_prev_insn_idx(). It goes back linearly by one instruction, unless current top of jmp_history is pointing to current instruction. In such case we use `st->jmp_history[cnt - 1].prev_idx` to find instruction from which we jumped to the current instruction non-linearly. Also remove both jump and prune point marking for instruction right after unconditional jumps, as program flow can get to the instruction right after unconditional jump instruction only if there is a jump to that instruction from somewhere else in the program. In such case we'll mark such instruction as prune/jump point because it's a destination of a jump. This change has no changes in terms of number of instructions or states processes across Cilium and selftests programs.
