selftests/bpf: Implement setting global variables in veristat

Browse source

To better verify some complex BPF programs we'd like to preset global
variables.
This patch introduces CLI argument `--set-global-vars` or `-G` to
veristat, that allows presetting values to global variables defined
in BPF program. For example:

prog.c:
```
enum Enum { ELEMENT1 = 0, ELEMENT2 = 5 };
const volatile __s64 a = 5;
const volatile __u8 b = 5;
const volatile enum Enum c = ELEMENT2;
const volatile bool d = false;

char arr[4] = {0};

SEC("tp_btf/sched_switch")
int BPF_PROG(...)
{
	bpf_printk("%c\n", arr[a]);
	bpf_printk("%c\n", arr[b]);
	bpf_printk("%c\n", arr[c]);
	bpf_printk("%c\n", arr[d]);
	return 0;
}
```
By default verification of the program fails:
```
./veristat prog.bpf.o
```
By presetting global variables, we can make verification pass:
```
./veristat wq.bpf.o  -G "a = 0" -G "b = 1" -G "c = 2" -G "d = 3"
```
