Introduce bpf_object__prepare API: additional intermediate preparation step that performs ELF processing, relocations, prepares final state of BPF program instructions (accessible with bpf_program__insns()), creates and (potentially) pins maps, and stops short of loading BPF programs. We anticipate few use cases for this API, such as: * Use prepare to initialize bpf_token, without loading freplace programs, unlocking possibility to lookup BTF of other programs. * Execute prepare to obtain finalized BPF program instructions without loading programs, enabling tools like veristat to process one program at a time, without incurring cost of ELF parsing and processing.
