[PATCH bpf-next v4 14/15] bpf: allow all printable characters in BTF DATASEC names

[Eduard Zingerman <eddyz87@gmail.com>]

The intent is to allow libbpf to use SEC("?.struct_ops") to identify
struct_ops maps that are optional, e.g. like in the following BPF code:

    SEC("?.struct_ops")
    struct test_ops optional_map = { ... };

Which yields the following BTF:

    ...
    [13] DATASEC '?.struct_ops' size=0 vlen=...
    ...

To load such BTF libbpf rewrites DATASEC name before load.
After this patch the rewrite won't be necessary.
