libbpf: Ensure BPF prog types are set before relocations
Refactor bpf_object__open() sequencing to perform BPF program type detection based on SEC() definitions before we get to relocations collection. This allows to have more information about BPF program by the time we get to, say, struct_ops relocation gathering. This, subsequently, simplifies struct_ops logic and removes the need to perform extra find_sec_def() resolution. With this patch libbpf will require all struct_ops BPF programs to be marked with SEC("struct_ops") or SEC("struct_ops/xxx") annotations. Real-world applications are already doing that through something like selftests's BPF_STRUCT_OPS() macro. This change streamlines libbpf's internal handling of SEC() definitions and is in the sprit of upcoming libbpf-1.0 section strictness changes ([0]).
