Rejecting non-native endian BTF overlapped with the addition
of support for it.

The rest were more simple overlapping changes, except the
renesas ravb binding update, which had to follow a file
move as well as a YAML conversion.

Seth reported problem with cross builds, that fail
on resolve_btfids build, because we are trying to
build it on cross build arch.

Fixing this by always forcing the host arch.

Two minor conflicts:

1) net/ipv4/route.c, adding a new local variable while
   moving another local variable and removing it's
   initial assignment.

2) drivers/net/dsa/microchip/ksz9477.c, overlapping changes.
   One pretty prints the port mode differently, whilst another
   changes the driver to try and obtain the port mode from
   the port node rather than the switch node.

This change facilitates out-of-tree builds, packaging, and versioning for
test and debug purposes. Defining BPFTOOL_VERSION allows self-contained
builds within the tools tree, since it avoids use of the 'kernelversion'
target in the top-level makefile, which would otherwise pull in several
other includes from outside the tools tree.

<title>bpftool: Support dumping metadata</title>

Dump metadata in the 'bpftool prog' list if it's present.
For some formatting some BTF code is put directly in the
metadata dumping. Sanity checks on the map and the kind of the btf_type
to make sure we are actually dumping what we are expecting.

A helper jsonw_reset is added to json writer so we can reuse the same
json writer without having extraneous commas.

Sample output:

  $ bpftool prog
  6: cgroup_skb  name prog  tag bcf7977d3b93787c  gpl
  [...]
  	btf_id 4
  	metadata:
  		a = "foo"
  		b = 1

  $ bpftool prog --json --pretty
  [{
          "id": 6,
  [...]
          "btf_id": 4,
          "metadata": {
              "a": "foo",
              "b": 1

Looks like that particular version of rst2man prefers to have actual new line

Since `echo -e` may not be available in some environment, let us use `printf`.
Format string "%b" is used for `printf` to ensure all escape characters are
interpretted properly.

<title>tools: bpftool: Automate generation for "SEE ALSO" sections in man pages</title>

<content type='text'>
The "SEE ALSO" sections of bpftool's manual pages refer to bpf(2),
bpf-helpers(7), then all existing bpftool man pages (save the current
one).

This leads to nearly-identical lists being duplicated in all manual
pages. Ideally, when a new page is created, all lists should be updated
accordingly, but this has led to omissions and inconsistencies multiple
times in the past.

Let's take it out of the RST files and generate the "SEE ALSO" sections
automatically in the Makefile when generating the man pages. The lists
are not really useful in the RST anyway because all other pages are
available in the same directory.

v3:
- Fix conflict with a previous patchset that introduced RST2MAN_OPTS
  variable passed to rst2man.

v2:
- Use "echo -n" instead of "printf" in Makefile, to avoid any risk of
  passing a format string directly to the command.

This leads to nearly-identical lists being duplicated in all manual
pages. Ideally, when a new page is created, all lists should be updated
accordingly, but this has led to omissions and inconsistencies multiple
times in the past.

Let's take it out of the RST files and generate the "SEE ALSO" sections
automatically in the Makefile when generating the man pages. The lists
are not really useful in the RST anyway because all other pages are
available in the same directory.

v3:
- Fix conflict with a previous patchset that introduced RST2MAN_OPTS
  variable passed to rst2man.

v2:
- Use "echo -n" instead of "printf" in Makefile, to avoid any risk of
  passing a format string directly to the command.

There is no support for creating maps of types array-of-map or
hash-of-map in bpftool. This is because the kernel needs an inner_map_fd
to collect metadata on the inner maps to be supported by the new map,
but bpftool does not provide a way to pass this file descriptor.

Add a new optional "inner_map" keyword that can be used to pass a
reference to a map, retrieve a fd to that map, and pass it as the
inner_map_fd.

Add related documentation and bash completion. Note that we can
reference the inner map by its name, meaning we can have several times
the keyword "name" with different meanings (mandatory outer map name,
and possibly a name to use to find the inner_map_fd). The bash
completion will offer it just once, and will not suggest "name" on the
following command:

    # bpftool map create /sys/fs/bpf/my_outer_map type hash_of_maps \
        inner_map name my_inner_map [TAB]

Fixing that specific case seems too convoluted. Completion will work as
expected, however, if the outer map name comes first and the "inner_map
name ..." is passed second.

<title>tools: bpftool: Keep errors for map-of-map dumps if distinct from ENOENT</title>

When dumping outer maps or prog_array maps, and on lookup failure,
bpftool simply skips the entry with no error message. This is because
the kernel returns non-zero when no value is found for the provided key,
which frequently happen for those maps if they have not been filled.

When such a case occurs, errno is set to ENOENT. It seems unlikely we
could receive other error codes at this stage (we successfully retrieved
map info just before), but to be on the safe side, let's skip the entry
only if errno was ENOENT, and not for the other errors.

v3: New patch
