[PATCH RFC bpf-next 39/52] net, xdp: make &xdp_attachment_info a bit more useful in drivers

Add a new field which will store an arbitrary 'driver cookie', the
closest usage is to store enum there corresponding to the metadata
types supported by a driver to shortcut them on hotpath.
In fact, it's just reusing the 4-byte padding at the end.
Also, make it possible to store BTF ID in LE rather than CPU
byteorder, so that drivers could save some cycles on [potential]
byteswapping on hotpath.
