kernel/bpf/preload/Makefile was recently updated to have it install
libbpf's headers locally instead of pulling them from tools/lib/bpf. But
two items still need to be addressed.
First, the local .gitignore file was not adjusted to ignore the files
generated in the new kernel/bpf/preload/libbpf output directory.
Second, the "clean-files" target is now incorrect. The old artefacts
names were not removed from the target, while the new ones were added
incorrectly. This is because "clean-files" expects names relative to
$(obj), but we passed the absolute path instead. This results in the
output and header-destination directories for libbpf (and their
contents) not being removed from kernel/bpf/preload on "make clean" from
the root of the repository.
This commit fixes both issues. Note that $(userprogs) needs not be added
to "clean-files", because the cleaning infrastructure already accounts
for it.
Cleaning the files properly also prevents make from printing the
following message, for builds coming after a "make clean":
"make[4]: Nothing to be done for 'install_headers'."
v2: Simplify the "clean-files" target.

The Makefile in bpf/preload builds a local copy of libbpf, but does not
properly clean up after itself. This can lead to subsequent compilation
failures, since the feature detection cache is kept around which can lead
subsequent detection to fail.
Fix this by properly setting clean-files, and while we're at it, also add a
.gitignore for the directory to ignore the build artifacts.
