This would be the only command line arg that configure takes; all other
options are passed via the environment. I think we should be consistent
here; and since converting the whole configure script is probably out of
scope for this patch, why not just use the existing FORCE_LIBBPF
variable?
I.e., FORCE_LIBBPF=on will fail if not libbpf is present,
FORCE_LIBBPF=off will disable libbpf entirely, and if the variable is
unset, libbpf will be used if found?
Alternatively, keep them as two separate variables (FORCE_LIBBPF and
DISABLE_LIBBPF?). I don't have any strong preference as to which of
those is best, but I think they'd both be more consistent with the
existing configure script logic...
