Extend map event_pipe to BPF ring buffer maps using libbpf's ring buffer
manager. Print complete records in plain or JSON format, reject CPU/index
selectors for ring buffers, and document the shared consumer position.

Changes in v3:
- Remove redundant wording from the manual while retaining the warning
  about consuming records and sharing the consumer position.
- Explain callback stopping and signal handling in the commit message.
- Rebase onto current bpf-next and use Assisted-by: LLM.

The implementation and v2 tests, including pretty output, pinned paths,
empty streams and the perf-event-array regression case, are unchanged.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/178874362960.1415955.14971768495630842802.ringbuf-v2-0@tychen.cc
Request: https://github.com/libbpf/bpftool/issues/54

The previous version's CI PR expired after repeated "Patch is empty"
reports. The revised series applies cleanly to the current tree and is
sent as a new thread using git format-patch and git send-email.

Validation:
- Built bpftool and its manual pages, and built the focused selftest
  runner with LLVM 20.
- All 17 bpftool_ringbuf subtests passed with no skips or failures
  in an x86-64 KVM guest running Linux 7.3.0-rc2 from current bpf/master.
- The four bpftool series were tested together: all 69 subtests passed.
  The cpumask suite (36 subtests) and test_maps also passed with no skips.
- Bash syntax and the existing bpftool synchronization checks passed.

This was a focused run; unrelated selftests requiring unavailable kernel
features were excluded from the build with PERMISSIVE=1.
