This patch set introduces the means for querying a textual representation of
the following BPF related enum types:
- enum bpf_map_type
- enum bpf_prog_type
- enum bpf_attach_type
- enum bpf_link_type

To make that possible, we introduce a new public function for each of the types:
libbpf_bpf_<type>_type_str.

Having a way to query a textual representation has been asked for in the past
(by systemd, among others). Such representations can generally be useful in
tracing and logging contexts, among others. At this point, at least one client,
bpftool, maintains such a mapping manually, which is prone to get out of date as
new enum variants are introduced. libbpf is arguably best situated to keep this
list complete and up-to-date. This patch series adds BTF based tests to ensure
that exhaustiveness is upheld moving forward.

The libbpf provided textual representation can be inferred from the
corresponding enum variant name by removing the prefix and lowercasing the
remainder. E.g., BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER -> socket_filter. Unfortunately,
bpftool does not use such a programmatic approach for some of the
bpf_attach_type variants. We propose a work around keeping the existing behavior
for the time being in the patch titled "bpftool: Use
libbpf_bpf_attach_type_str".

The patch series is structured as follows:
- for each enumeration type in {bpf_prog_type, bpf_map_type, bpf_attach_type,
  bpf_link_type}:
  - we first introduce the corresponding public libbpf API function
  - we then add BTF based self-tests
  - we lastly adjust bpftool to use the libbpf provided functionality
