Update the documentation to provide help about JSON output generation,
and add an example in bpftool-prog manual page.
Also reintroduce an example that was left aside when the tool was moved
from GitHub to the kernel sources, in order to show how to mount the
bpffs file system (to pin programs) inside the bpftool-prog manual page.

As all commands can now return JSON output (possibly just a "null"
value), output of `bpftool --json batch file FILE` should also be fully
JSON compliant.

Turn err() and info() macros into functions.
In order to avoid naming conflicts with variables in the code, rename
them as p_err() and p_info() respectively.
The behavior of these functions is similar to the one of the macros for
plain output. However, when JSON output is requested, these macros
return a JSON-formatted "error" object instead of printing a message to
stderr.
To handle error messages correctly with JSON, a modification was brought
to their behavior nonetheless: the functions now append a end-of-line
character at the end of the message. This way, we can remove end-of-line
characters at the end of the argument strings, and not have them in the
JSON output.
All error messages are formatted to hold in a single call to p_err(), in
order to produce a single JSON field.

`bpftool batch file FILE` takes FILE as an argument and executes all the
bpftool commands it finds inside (or stops if an error occurs).
To obtain a consistent JSON output, create a root JSON array, then for
each command create a new object containing two fields: one with the
command arguments, the other with the output (which is the JSON object
that the command would have produced, if called on its own).

These two options can be used to ask for a JSON output (--j or -json),
and to make this JSON human-readable (-p or --pretty).
A json_writer object is created when JSON is required, and will be used
in follow-up commits to produce JSON output.
Note that --pretty implies --json.
Update for the manual pages and interactive help messages comes in a
later patch of the series.

Add an option parsing facility to bpftool, in prevision of future
options for demanding JSON output. Currently, two options are added:
--help and --version, that act the same as the respective commands
`help` and `version`.

This command can be used to print the version of the tool, which is in
fact the version from Linux taken from usr/include/linux/version.h.
Example usage:
$ bpftool version
bpftool v4.14.0

Make print_hex() able to print to any file instead of standard output
only, and rename it to fprint_hex(). The function can now be called with
the info() macro, for example, without splitting the output between
standard and error outputs.
