bpftool: Show map IDs along with struct_ops links.

Browse source

A new link type, BPF_LINK_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS, was added to attach
struct_ops to links. (226bc6ae64) It would be helpful for users to
know which map is associated with the link.

The assumption was that every link is associated with a BPF program, but
this does not hold true for struct_ops. It would be better to display
map_id instead of prog_id for struct_ops links. However, some tools may
rely on the old assumption and need a prog_id.  The discussion on the
mailing list suggests that tools should parse JSON format. We will maintain
the existing JSON format by adding a map_id without removing prog_id. As
for plain text format, we will remove prog_id from the header line and add
a map_id for struct_ops links.
