Andrii Nakryiko 06e71ad534 bpftool: improve skeleton backwards compat with old buggy libbpfs
Old versions of libbpf don't handle varying sizes of bpf_map_skeleton
struct correctly. As such, BPF skeleton generated by newest bpftool
might not be compatible with older libbpf (though only when libbpf is
used as a shared library), even though it, by design, should.

Going forward libbpf will be fixed, plus we'll release bug fixed
versions of relevant old libbpfs, but meanwhile try to mitigate from
bpftool side by conservatively assuming older and smaller definition of
bpf_map_skeleton, if possible. Meaning, if there are no struct_ops maps.

If there are struct_ops, then presumably user would like to have
auto-attaching logic and struct_ops map link placeholders, so use the
full bpf_map_skeleton definition in that case.
