[PATCH bpf-next v3 6/8] libbpf: prepare deprecation of btf__get_from_id(), btf__load()

Introduce a macro LIBBPF_DEPRECATED_SINCE(major, minor, message) to
prepare the deprecation of two API functions. This macro mark the
functions as deprecated when libbpf's version reaches the values passed
as an argument.

Prepare deprecation for btf__get_from_id() and btf__load(), respectively
replaced by btf__load_from_kernel_by_id() and btf__load_into_kernel(),
for version 0.6 of the library.

References:

- https://github.com/libbpf/libbpf/issues/278
- https://github.com/libbpf/libbpf/wiki/Libbpf:-the-road-to-v1.0#btfh-apis

Side notes:

- Because of the constraints from the preprocessor, we have to write a
few lines of macro magic for each version used to prepare deprecation
(0.6 for now).
- Checkpatch complains about the absence of parentheses around the
definition for LIBBPF_DEPRECATED_SINCE, but the compiler profusely
complains if we attempt to add them.
