bpf: verifier: Use target program's type for access verifications



This patch adds changes in verifier to make decisions such as granting
of read / write access or enforcement of return code status based on
the program type of the target program while using dynamic program
extension (of type BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT).

The BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT type can be used to extend types such as XDP, SKB
and others. Since the BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT program type on itself is just a
placeholder for those, we need this extended check for those extended
programs to actually work with proper access, while using this option.

Specifically, it introduces following changes:
- may_access_direct_pkt_data:
    allow access to packet data based on the target prog
- check_return_code:
    enforce return code based on the target prog
    (currently, this check is skipped for EXT program)
- check_ld_abs:
    check for 'may_access_skb' based on the target prog
- check_map_prog_compatibility:
    enforce the map compatibility check based on the target prog
- may_update_sockmap:
    allow sockmap update based on the target prog

Some other occurrences of prog->type is left as it without replacing
with the 'resolved' type:
- do_check_common() and check_attach_btf_id():
    already have specific logic to handle the EXT prog type
- jit_subprogs() and bpf_check():
    Not changed for jit compilation or while inferring env->ops

Next few patches in this series include selftests for some of these cases.
