Andrii Nakryiko 99fb953188 libbpf: fix BPF skeleton forward/backward compat handling
BPF skeleton was designed from day one to be extensible. Generated BPF
skeleton code specifies actual sizes of map/prog/variable skeletons for
that reason and libbpf is supposed to work with newer/older versions
correctly.

Unfortunately, it was missed that we implicitly embed hard-coded most
up-to-date (according to libbpf's version of libbpf.h header used to
compile BPF skeleton header) sizes of those structs, which can differ
from the actual sizes at runtime when libbpf is used as a shared
library.

We have a few places were we just index array of maps/progs/vars, which
implicitly uses these potentially invalid sizes of structs.

This patch aims to fix this problem going forward. Once this lands,
we'll backport these changes in Github repo to create patched releases
for older libbpfs.
