rtla/timerlat: Add example for BPF action program

Add an example BPF action program that prints the measured latency to
the tracefs buffer via bpf_printk().

A new Makefile target, "examples", is added to build the example. In
addition, "sample/" subfolder is renamed to "example".

If BPF skeleton support is unavailable or disabled, a warning will be
displayed when building the BPF action program example.
