Larysa Zaremba f46392ee3d bpftool: Specify XDP Hints ifname when loading program
Add ability to specify a network interface used to resolve XDP hints
kfuncs when loading program through bpftool.

Usage:

  bpftool prog load [...] xdpmeta_dev <ifname>

Writing just 'dev <ifname>' instead of 'xdpmeta_dev' is a very probable
mistake that results in not very descriptive errors,
so 'bpftool prog load [...] dev <ifname>' syntax becomes deprecated,
followed by 'bpftool map create [...] dev <ifname>' for consistency.

Now, to offload program, execute:

  bpftool prog load [...] offload_dev <ifname>

To offload map:

  bpftool map create [...] offload_dev <ifname>

'dev <ifname>' still performs offloading in the commands above, but now
triggers a warning and is excluded from bash completion.

'xdpmeta_dev' and 'offload_dev' are mutually exclusive options, because
'xdpmeta_dev' basically makes a program device-bound without loading it
onto the said device. For now, offloaded programs cannot use XDP hints [0],
but if this changes, using 'offload_dev <ifname>' should cover this case.
