selftests/exec: convert the binfmt_misc bpf test to the kselftest harness

Browse source 
The test reports its own pass and fail lines, returns a bare 4 for
KSFT_SKIP and runs both cases in one process, so a failure in the first
takes the second with it. It also open-codes the register, unregister,
file-copy and mount helpers that the tests for the upcoming transparent
and loader dispatch modes need again.

Convert it to the kselftest harness: a fixture for the common setup and
teardown, one TEST_F per case so each is reported and isolated
separately, and SKIP() for the root, BTF and binfmt_misc preconditions.
Move the helpers to a shared header on the way, with the register
helper preserving the write's errno so a caller can tell a rejected
flag combination (EINVAL) from a kernel that does not know the flag at
all. The synthetic ELF header gains an e_machine argument and uses the
elf.h constants instead of open-coded numbers.

The fixture no longer mounts bpffs. The handler is attached with
bpf_map__attach_struct_ops() and nothing is ever pinned, the mount was
carried along from a bpftool-based draft. The bpf objects are compiled
with -DBPF_NO_KFUNC_PROTOTYPES - the guard bpftool emits for exactly
this - instead of sed'ing the prototypes out of the generated
vmlinux.h. And the config fragment records the options the binfmt_misc
tests need so a merge-config kernel can run them.

No change in what is tested.
