0641c3c890 tools: bpftool: update documentation for --json and --pretty usage
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.

Make the look-and-feel of the manual pages somewhat closer to other

highlighting more keywords.

a2bc2e5c2c tools: bpftool: add option parsing to bpftool, --help and --version
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`.
