Andrii Nakryiko eba9c5f498 libbpf: Refactor global data map initialization
Refactor global data map initialization to use anonymous mmap()-ed memory
instead of malloc()-ed one. This allows to do a transparent re-mmap()-ing of
already existing memory address to point to BPF map's memory after
bpf_object__load() step (done in follow up patch). This choreographed setup
allows to have a nice and unsurprising way to pre-initialize read-only (and
r/w as well) maps by user and after BPF map creation keep working with
mmap()-ed contents of this map. All in a way that doesn't require user code to
update any pointers: the illusion of working with memory contents is preserved
before and after actual BPF map instantiation.

Selftests and runqslower example demonstrate this feature in follow up patches.
