Add APIs providing read-only access to bpf_program BPF instructions ([0]). This is useful for diagnostics purposes, but it also allows a cleaner support for cloning BPF programs after libbpf did all the FD resolution and CO-RE relocations, subprog instructions appending, etc. Currently, cloning BPF program is possible only through hijacking a half-broken bpf_program__set_prep() API, which doesn't really work well for anything but most primitive programs. For instance, set_prep() API doesn't allow adjusting BPF program load parameters which are necessary for loading fentry/fexit BPF programs (the case where BPF program cloning is a necessity if doing some sort of mass-attachment functionality). Given bpf_program__set_prep() API is set to be deprecated, having a cleaner alternative is a must. libbpf internally already keeps track of linear array of struct bpf_insn, so it's not hard to expose it. The only gotcha is that libbpf previously freed instructions array during bpf_object load time, which would make this API much less useful overall, because in between bpf_object__open() and bpf_object__load() a lot of changes to instructions are done by libbpf. So this patch makes libbpf hold onto prog->insns array even after BPF program loading. I think this is a small price for added functionality and improved introspection of BPF program code. See retsnoop PR ([1]) for how it can be used in practice and code savings compared to relying on bpf_program__set_prep().
