libbpf: Add support to set kprobe/uprobe attach mode



By default, libbpf will attach the kprobe/uprobe BPF program in the
latest mode that supported by kernel. In this patch, we add the support
to let users manually attach kprobe/uprobe in legacy or perf mode.

There are 3 mode that supported by the kernel to attach kprobe/uprobe:

  LEGACY: create perf event in legacy way and don't use bpf_link
  PERF: create perf event with perf_event_open() and don't use bpf_link

Users now can manually choose the mode with
bpf_program__attach_uprobe_opts()/bpf_program__attach_kprobe_opts().
