bpftool: Stop emitting static variables in BPF skeleton

Browse Source 
As discussed in [0], stop emitting static variables in BPF skeletons to avoid
issues with name-conflicting static variables across multiple
statically-linked BPF object files.

Users using static variables to pass data between BPF programs and user-space
should do a trivial one-time switch according to the following simple rules:
  - read-only `static volatile const` variables should be converted to
    `volatile const`;
  - read/write `static volatile` variables should just drop `static volatile`
    modifiers to become global variables/symbols. To better handle older Clang
    versions, such newly converted global variables should be explicitly
    initialized with a specific value or `= 0`/`= {}`, whichever is
    appropriate.
