tools: bpftool: add a prog array map update example to documentation

Add an example in map documentation to show how to use bpftool in order
to update the references to programs hold by prog array maps.

......@@ -170,6 +170,61 @@ The following three commands are equivalent:
| **# bpftool map pin id 10 /sys/fs/bpf/map**
| **# bpftool map del pinned /sys/fs/bpf/map key 13 00 07 00**
Note that map update can also be used in order to change the program references
hold by a program array map. This can be used, for example, to change the
programs used for tail-call jumps at runtime, without having to reload the
entry-point program. Below is an example for this use case: we load a program
defining a prog array map, and with a main function that contains a tail call
to other programs that can be used either to "process" packets or to "debug"
processing. Note that the prog array map MUST be pinned into the BPF virtual
file system for the map update to work successfully, as kernel flushes prog
array maps when they have no more references from user space (and the update
would be lost as soon as bpftool exits).
