selftests/bpf: Test early in-kernel CO-RE relocation

Browse source

Add a raw program load with CO-RE relocation metadata but no func_info or
line_info. Place the relocation in dead code and require the poisoning log,
proving that the kernel processes standalone CO-RE metadata instead of
silently skipping it.

Also give a subprogram a relocatable immediate as its terminal instruction.
Require the relocation's poisoning log before check_subprogs() rejects the
resulting fall-through. With the old ordering, check_subprogs() rejects the
original terminal instruction before CO-RE can emit the substitution log, so
the test continues to distinguish the ordering after relocation target
validation is tightened.

Submit a trailing ldimm64 first slot with CO-RE metadata and require the early
structural diagnostic. This exercises the check that protects relocation
processing instead of the later regular instruction validation.

Load the standalone instruction stream without relocation metadata first to
ensure that CO-RE processing causes its poisoning diagnostic. Encode the fixed
BTF metadata directly with the selftest BTF helpers.
