selftests/bpf: Support building selftests in optimized -O2 mode



Add support for building selftests with -O2 level of optimization, which
allows more compiler warnings detection (like lots of potentially
uninitialized usage), but also is useful to have a faster-running test
for some CPU-intensive tests.

One can build optimized versions of libbpf and selftests by running:

  $ make RELEASE=1

There is a measurable speed up of about 10 seconds for me locally,
though it's mostly capped by non-parallelized serial tests. User CPU
time goes down by total 40 seconds, from 1m10s to 0m28s.

Unoptimized build (-O0)
=======================
Summary: 430/3544 PASSED, 25 SKIPPED, 4 FAILED

real    1m59.937s
user    1m10.877s
sys     3m14.880s

Optimized build (-O2)
=====================
Summary: 425/3543 PASSED, 25 SKIPPED, 9 FAILED

real    1m50.540s
user    0m28.406s
sys     3m13.198s
