Wang Nan 1a5e3fb1e9 bpf tools: Open eBPF object file and do basic validation
This patch defines basic interface of libbpf. 'struct bpf_object' will
be the handler of each object file. Its internal structure is hide to
user. eBPF object files are compiled by LLVM as ELF format. In this
patch, libelf is used to open those files, read EHDR and do basic
validation according to e_type and e_machine.

All elf related staffs are grouped together and reside in efile field of
'struct bpf_object'. bpf_object__elf_finish() is introduced to clear it.

After all eBPF programs in an object file are loaded, related ELF
information is useless. Close the object file and free those memory.

The zfree() and zclose() functions are introduced to ensure setting NULL
pointers and negative file descriptors after resources are released.
