bpf, docs: Add extended call instructions

Browse source

Add extended call instructions.  Uses the term "program-local" for
call by offset.  And there are instructions for calling helper functions
by "address" (the old way of using integer values), and for calling
helper functions by BTF ID (for kfuncs).
