libbpf: Use CO-RE in the kernel in light skeleton.



Without lskel the CO-RE relocations are processed by libbpf before any other
work is done. Instead, when lskel is needed, remember relocation as RELO_CORE
kind. Then when loader prog is generated for a given bpf program pass CO-RE
relos of that program to gen loader via bpf_gen__record_relo_core(). The gen
loader will remember them as-is and pass it later as-is into the kernel.

The normal libbpf flow is to process CO-RE early before call relos happen. In
case of gen_loader the core relos have to be added to other relos to be copied
together when bpf static function is appended in different places to other main
bpf progs. During the copy the append_subprog_relos() will adjust insn_idx for
normal relos and for RELO_CORE kind too. When that is done each struct
reloc_desc has good relos for specific main prog.
