The bpftool self-created maps can appear in final map show output due to
deferred removal in kernel. These maps don't have a name, which would make
users confused about where it comes from.
With a libbpf_ prefix name, users could know who created these maps.
It also could make some tests (like test_offload.py, which skip base maps
without names as a workaround) filter them out.
Kernel adds bpf prog/map name support in the same merge
commit fadad670a8 ("Merge branch 'bpf-extend-info'"). So we can also use
kernel_supports(NULL, FEAT_PROG_NAME) to check if kernel supports map name.
As discussed [1], Let's make bpf_map_create accept non-null
name string, and silently ignore the name if kernel doesn't support.
