[PATCH 1/2] tools, bpf_asm: Hard error on out of range jumps.

[Ian Denhardt]

Per discussion at:

https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/c964892195a6b91d20a67691448567ef528ffa6d.camel@linux.ibm.com/T/#t

...this was originally introduced as a warning due to concerns about
breaking existing code, but a hard error probably makes more sense,
especially given that concerns about breakage were only speculation.
