Extend the bpf hashmap docs to include a brief description of the
internals of the LRU map type (setting appropriate API expectations),
including the original commit message from Martin and a variant on the
graph that I had presented during my Linux Plumbers Conference 2022
talk on "Pressure feedback for LRU map types"[0].
The node names in the dot file correspond roughly to the functions
where the logic for those decisions or steps is defined, to help
curious developers to cross-reference and update this logic if the
details of the LRU implementation ever differ from this description.
